LIQUEURS VERMOUTH AMARO • BITTERS ABSINTHE

Hood River, Oregon (Hood River Distillers)

Clear Creek Distillery was founded in 1985 with a vision to use the bountiful fruits of the Pacific Northwest to create fruit-based spirits that rivaled the best of their European counterparts. Using old-world techniques and sourcing ingredients from the local orchards and fresh water springs of Mount Hood in the Oregon countryside, Clear Creek became one of the first craft distilleries in the United States.

Clear Creek, Marion Blackberry Liqueur This late summer fruit is sweet and tart, bursting with flavor, and a no-brainer for an Oregon liqueur. Clear Creek uses the premium, exclusively Oregon-grown Marion

Blackberry – for a rich, earthy, ripe berry liqueur. Clear Creek, Cassis Liqueur

All natural, from a single grove of organic black currants. A tart, lightly sweet, slightly earthy liqueur with huge fruit flavor. Lovely in the classic Kir and Kir Royale (cassis in white wine or champagne, respectively) or sipped on its own. Clear Creek, Cherry Liqueur With a base of the Kirschwasser and a full fruit maceration of ripe cherries, you have a

tart, earthy cherry liqueur like none other.  No sugar added. Clear Creek, Cranberry Liqueur

All natural. A savvy grower from Bandon persuaded them to create a liqueur with this beautiful fruit and they are very pleased with the results. This liqueur is entirely true to the fruit: dark red, tart, lightly sweet, and very fruity.
