Full Circle launches Shiso Purple liqueur, The sustainable liqueur revolutionizing flavour and waste reduction
Category: Sustainability
Following the success of Shiso Green liquor, Full Circle now introduces Shiso Purple liquor - a rich, floral liqueur that elevates the flavor profile of shiso to a new level.
Shiso Leaves Purple
After the successful launch of Shiso Green in September 2024, the time has come: Full Circle proudly presents Shiso Purple, the latest addition to its innovative liqueur line. This new creation completes the duo and once again emphasizes the power of circular collaboration and bold flavors.
Bold Umami Flavours, and endless cocktail possibilities
Shiso Purple is made from a residual stream of Shiso Leaves Purple from Koppert Cress, which do not meet the strict measurements (specs) and are given a new life thanks to Full Circle. The leaves combine a distinct umami flavour with the aromatic character of basil and the spiciness of cumin. To enhance these flavour layers, rejected plums and Zalotti Blossom - the flower of Thai basil - have also been added.
Full Circle Shiso Purple
Full Circle Shiso Purple is made from 15,000 hand-picked Shiso Leaves that don’t meet its high (aesthetic) standards – too old, too small, or too large. Through a sustainable and artisanal process, these leaves are repurposed to create only 450 exclusive bottles per batch. The result is a liqueur with unparalleled depth: fruity notes of plum and raisin, floral accents from the Zalotti Blossom, and a subtle, pleasant bitterness. Shiso Purple is highly versatile - perfect neat, in cocktails, or even as a culinary flavor enhancer.
Cheers, Small plants, big impact
Its use is comparable to sweet vermouth, offering bartenders a wide range of creative possibilities. Shiso Purple pairs well with almost any type of spirit, adding a unique twist to classics like the Pisco Sour or Dry Martini. It also makes for a stunning Shiso Spritz when combined with Prosecco or sparkling sake. With its deep purple color, Shiso Purple is not just a flavor bomb but also a visual showstopper on any terrace or in any cocktail bar.
The launch of Shiso Purple marks the completion of a special duo: together with the fresh, minty, and cucumber-like tones of Shiso Green, Full Circle now offers two characterful liqueurs that each highlight the unique flavor of shiso in their own way. Both products result from a sustainable partnership with Koppert Cress - where flavor, circularity, and innovation go hand in hand.
