You Can't Get Fairer Than That - Fair Trade Liqueurs

FAIR. Spirits — the name says it all. This remarkable company is dedicated to producing exceptional quality liqueurs while ensuring every ingredient is ethically sourced and every producer is treated with dignity. As the world’s first Fair Trade Certified spirits brand, FAIR follows more than 200 strict rules to ensure that their farmers and suppliers are paid fairly, can support their families, build schools, and farm sustainably.

From the sun-kissed sugar cane fields of Belize to the high-altitude quinoa farms of Bolivia’s Altiplano, and the verdant slopes of Veracruz, Mexico, every ingredient used in FAIR’s spirits is both organic and Fair Trade Certified. Other ingredients include natural juniper berries from Uzbekistan, rich spices from South West India, and superfoods like goji berries from Tibet. These hand-selected botanicals are then shipped to the Cognac region in France where Master Distiller Philip Lacile crafts them into a unique range of spirits and liqueurs that honour both quality and conscience.

FAIR’s commitment to ethical practices is inspiring — but it’s the taste that truly impresses. Their meticulous sourcing and distilling process result in two standout liqueurs: FAIR Café Liqueur and FAIR Goji Liqueur.

FAIR Café Liqueur

This deep, full-bodied coffee liqueur owes its exceptional flavour to slow-roasted organic Arabica coffee beans from the Huatusco region of Veracruz, Mexico. The beans, grown by a cooperative of over 1,900 independent farmers, are ground fresh and infused directly into the spirit base, preserving every nuanced aroma and taste.

The result? A rich, nutty liqueur bursting with roasted almond and hazelnut notes, followed by smooth caramel coffee tones. There's just the faintest touch of alcohol on the palate, making it ideal for espresso martinis or sipping over ice. The finish is sweet but refined — never cloying, never artificial.

FAIR Goji Liqueur

Using one of nature’s most revered super fruits, this liqueur is crafted with organic goji berries sourced directly from a co-op of 300 farmers in the Tibetan Himalayas. Revered for centuries by monks, goji berries are rich in antioxidants and flavour. Combined with FAIR’s signature quinoa-based spirit and organic Fair Trade sugar from Malawi, this liqueur delivers a vibrant burst of natural character.

Each sip reveals a cascade of red fruit flavours — cranberry, cherry, plum and pomegranate — that pop with juicy intensity. Light, bright and slightly tart, it’s perfect served neat, over ice, or used to elevate cocktails with a fruity, exotic twist.

FAIR proves that great taste and great ethics can go hand in hand. Explore their full range of sustainable spirits and liqueurs at Drink Finder and raise a glass to something truly fair.
