In European folklore, Krampus is the dark counterpart to Saint Nick — a horned, mischievous creature who roams snowy streets each December, bells clanging, keeping the naughty in check. We’ve brought him to life in spirit form: a wickedly smooth liqueur made with roasted hazelnut, raw honey, and spice. Bold, warming, and just a little dangerous, Krampus Liqueur is the perfect antidote to the overly sweet holiday season.

Enjoy Krampus however your mood demands — sipped neat, poured over ice, or mixed into cocktails. Try it in a Krampus Old Fashioned, a winter espresso cocktail, or one of the dozens of original Krampus drink recipes you’ll find right here on our website.

We first unleashed Krampus in 2012 as a small-batch holiday release, not knowing if the world was ready for him. It turns out they were… and then some. From day one, Krampus found his fans. Year after year, demand grew, bottles sold out, and what started as a limited-edition experiment became a full-blown Pacific Northwest holiday tradition.

Today, Krampus has a devoted following across Washington and beyond — showing up at holiday parties, winter gatherings, and cocktail bars throughout the region. Seattle now hosts the annual Krampus Krawl, featuring 50+ bars each creating their own Krampus cocktails. And every November, our own Krampus Night at Chuckanut Bay Distillery sells out — a spirited celebration of 300+ guests featuring Krampus Seattle, live music, and the best winter cocktails of the season.

Whether shared at a holiday table or discovered at a neighborhood bar, Krampus continues to embody everything a great holiday spirit should be: bold, festive, and just a touch wicked.

Krampus is handcrafted by Chuckanut Bay Distillery, an award-winning craft distillery located in the heart of downtown Bellingham, Washington. Our restored historic building is where the magic happens — where you can taste our spirits, shop for bottles, and see Krampus himself come to life.

If you’re visiting the Pacific Northwest during the holidays, stop by for a tasting or tour — or join us for Krampus Night, our signature celebration of all things festive and fearsome. You’ll also find Krampus on shelves at select retailers and bars across Washington.
