The story behind Burst
Burst is the pre-mixed bar shot and schnapps line under DeKuyper, the Dutch cordial house Jan de Kuyper founded in 1695. The cordials themselves are made in the United States, in Frankfort and Clermont, Kentucky, under John DeKuyper & Sons, part of Suntory Global Spirits. So the recipes are Dutch in lineage and American in production.
What separates Burst is what goes in and what does not. The formulas use natural flavors and skip high fructose corn syrup and artificial flavors, built on a neutral grain spirit base with fruit extracts, essential oils and sweeteners. Nothing is aged. You get high-impact flavor, clean and uncomplicated, which is exactly why these bottles have moved off our shelf for decades.
