About Araceli Marigold Liqueur
he goal with the Araceli Marigold Liqueur was to create a liquid that wasn't too sweet and had a higher alcohol volume than is common for similar liqueurs. The liqueur is produced at a small distillery and was carefully crafted to be equally suited for sipping or usage in cocktails. Representing "love, honor, and respect", the liqueur is a blend of premium spirits and natural ingredients including marigolds and agave nectar. The world's first marigold liqueur is handcrafted in small batches and bottled at 70 proof.

About Araceli Liqueur
The marigold flower carries a lot of symbolism in different cultures. The bright orange Mexican species grows on the hillsides and is known as the "Flower of the Dead". During the festivities of Dia de los Muertos (the Day of the Dead) its scent is said to guide the spirits of the dead to the celebration, its bright orange color symbolizing sunlight. The holiday is known for its joyful nature, celebrating and remembering the lives of the deceased instead of mourning their passing.
When Victoria Araceli Vann founded Araceli Spirits she was inspired by the traditions of the Day of the Dead. "Rather than just choosing to place a Día de los Muertos inspired label on a tequila, wine or beer bottle, I wanted something much more meaningful that truly honored the love of life, people and family, which is what El Día de los Muertos is all about," says Victoria. She felt drawn to the marigold flower and its mystical symbolism. "Araceli" is Spanish for "altar of heaven".
