Frequently Asked Questions
What flavour is Aphrodite Blue?
The front label calls it Butterfly Pea & Lychee Liqueur. It is the Blue expression in the Aphrodite range.
How do I bring back the pearl shimmer?
The back label advises shaking the bottle well before serving because ingredients can float or settle. In a mixed drink, gently stir with a stirrer to lift the pearl effect again.
How do I make a Pearl China Blue?
The bottle's recipe combines 50ml Aphrodite Blue, 40ml tonic water and 20ml grapefruit juice over ice. Stir to mix. The mixers and glassware are not included.
How should I store this liqueur?
The back label says to store it in a dark place because direct sunlight may break down the colour. Consume promptly after opening.
Is Aphrodite Blue alcohol-free?
No. It contains 9% alcohol by volume. This listing is for the 500ml bottle, without outer packaging.
Will I need to pay import duties or taxes?
Our Shipping Policy states that international orders ship DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid). Applicable customs duties, import taxes and local fees are paid by the customer and are excluded from the product price and shipping cost.
