Review: Hpnotiq Harmonie Liqueur
You can put “A refreshing blend of premium French vodka, infused natural fruits, flowers, and a touch of Cognac” on the label, but Hpno is always gonna be Hpno.
An icon of the hip-hop crowd, the electric blue Hpnotiq Liqueur is an icon of da club. It was only a matter of time before it spawned a sibling… or rather a “stylish BFF,” as the company terms it. Hpnotiq Harmonie, put simply, is a pinkish purple, and if you’re looking for the girliest drink on earth, you have arrived.
Hpnotiq Harmonie Liqueur Review
The flavor is equally pinkish purple. While Hpnotiq insists that lavender, violets, and berries set it apart from standard Hpno, it’s as overwhelmingly sweet as the original… just, different. Lavender is actually noticeable if you push past the sugar. There’s a sort of floral earthiness on the nose that is intriguing and promising. But a sip reveals Harmonie’s true intentions: To mask a moderate amount of alcohol in a candy-coated glaze. Harmonie is even sweeter than (my memory of, anyway) regular Hpnotiq Liqueur, which is a shame, because there is some curious flower character under the surface here. It’s just too bad that with that mountain of sweetness what comes across is a thickened version of grape Kool-Aid.
34 proof.

I thoroughly enjoy this drink, but now can no longer locate it. I am told by numerous stores, walmart neighbourhood market stores, and liquor smoke shop stores, that it is no longer available , is that true? and why if so.. I used to purchase all 4 or 6 bottles when on the shelve 2 mths ago, cause it was getting rare that I saw it then. Now it is no where to be found in north Lousiana. I do like the original, but prefer the Harmony. Look forward to your reply.

I am a legit “card carrying” (well… chip-carrying) alcoholic. I’ve been to rehab twice. This isn’t me bragging, this is me saying that I know what I’m talking about when I tell you that I used to work in a bar. At the end of the night when I was cleaning off tables, I would take AAAAALL of the unfinished drinks, pour them into a cup, and drink THAT.
…I would do that 1,000 more times before I ever touch this nasty sh*t again.
