With people starting to get into the holiday spirits, PETA is naming its picks for the ten best international “Vegan Crème de la Crème Liqueurs” and raising a glass to the distillers producing delectable dairy-free delights that are every bit as indulgent as they are kind to cows and considerate of lactose-intolerant and just plain dairy-intolerant drinkers.

PETA’s cream of the crop award list includes the silky-smooth Almondaire Almond-Based Creme Liqueur from Wisconsin-headquartered distiller Bar Napkin Spirits, and the rich Coconut Oat Milk Liqueur from New Jersey-based Buglisi Recobs Group’s fully vegan brand Oatrageous.

The other winners span the globe and are:

• The scrumptious Bailey’s Cookies and Creamy Non-Dairy Liqueur from London-headquartered Diageo
• Tantalizingly tropical Coconut Cream Liqueur from Aihiki in Australia
• Lustre’s luscious Pineapple Cream Liqueur with Rum from Global Brands in the UK
• Indulgent Oatnog from UK-based Black Lines
• Cremaura’s exquisite Tequila Coffee Caramel Cream Liqueur from Platinum Reserve Limited in London
• The perfectly sweet Silky Strawberry Plant Based Cre*m Liqueur from London brand Dirty Cow Chocolate
• Tangy Limoncello Cream Liqueur from Pallini in Rome
• Bold Arctic Blue Oat liqueur from Arctic Blue Beverages in Finland

“Whether mixed into a Grasshopper or White Russian or sipped straight over ice, all the winners on PETA’s list deliver buzz-worthy flavor,” says PETA Founder Ingrid Newkirk. “PETA is encouraging everyone to make the holidays merry and bright for all by giving these delicious dairy-free liqueurs a shot.” 

The winners will receive a framed certificate from PETA along with bragging rights.

PETA notes that cows have deep maternal instincts and, like all mothers, produce milk only to feed their babies. But in the dairy industry, calves are torn away from their mothers within a day of birth so humans can steal their milk, causing both mother and child extreme distress. Male calves are relegated to cramped veal crates or barren feedlots, while females are sentenced to the same sad fate as their mothers and exploited as milk-producing machines until their exhausted bodies give out and they, too, are sent to slaughter.

Every person who goes vegan saves the lives of nearly 200 animals each year and reduces their own risk of developing heart disease and cancer. PETA’s free vegan starter kit can help those looking to make the switch.

PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to eat”—points out that Every Animal Is Someone and offers free Empathy Kitsfor people who need a lesson in kindness.
