It is a dark liqueur with the flavor of dark chocolate, with hints of orange and vanilla. Crème de Cacao has been around for a long time and Bols has been its predominant brand, highlighted by the original Alexander and its very popular variant, Brandy Alexander. In the 1980s, Bols Crème de Cacao was primarily used in creamy ice cream drinks, but lately it has proven highly adaptable to various after-dinner cocktails like the Mulata Daiquiri and After Eight.
