Mandarine Napoléon liqueur dates back 1892. Its name originates from Napoléon Bonaparte. The story goes that macerated mandarins in cognac was a personal favorite of Napoléon. In fact, it was Napoléon’s physician, Antoine-Francois de Fourcroy, who first had the idea of macerating mandarins in alcohol and then blending the distillate with cognac. And indeed, the two were often said to have enjoyed a glass together.
