Amarula

Amarula is one of the most popular liqueurs in the the world.

From Wikipedia:
Amarula is a cream liqueur from South Africa. It is made with sugar, cream and the fruit of the African marula tree (Sclerocarya birrea) which is also locally called the Elephant tree or the Marriage Tree. It has an alcohol content of 17% by volume.

Amarula was first marketed by Southern Liqueur Company of South Africa... as a liqueur in September 1989, the Amarula spirit having been launched in 1983. It has the taste of slightly fruity caramel.

Elephants enjoy eating the fruit of the marula tree. Because of the marula tree's association with elephants, the distiller has made them its symbol and supports elephant conservation efforts, co-funding the Amarula Elephant Research Programme at the University of Natal, Durban.
