LIQUEUR

ARGIOLAS TREMONTIS ITALY SARDINIAWW Tremontis Limone Liqueur 60PF / 750ML Limone is made from a selection of natural infusions and essences, extracted from the peel of ripe, pleasantly aromatic lemons, blended with the semi-processed liqueur and with the addition of sugar syrup. Brilliant lemon yellow in color with a strong fragrance of fresh lemon fruit. On the palate it is sweet and pleasant. Tremontis Mirto Liqueur 60PF / 750ML A unique Sardinian liqueur made from the berries of the Mirto (Myrtle) plant. Myrtle is one of the most distinctive essences of the Mediterranean and has long been recognized for its healing properties. This liqueur is violet red in color with herbal aromas. It is bittersweet on the palate and backed by flavors of mint, eucalyptus, juniper and spices. Sardinian tradition is to drink Mirto at the end of a meal. It is best served well-chilled. Like a Sardinian Fernet, incredibly diverse in cocktails.

The chocolate is light and sippable. It is finished with agave nectar to about 10% sugar. Ginger Liqueur 50PF / 750ML “WOW, THIS REALLY TASTES LIKE GINGER!” That’s because it is ginger, real ginger, grown-in-the-ground ginger. We peel the ginger and infuse it into high proof vodka. This infused base is re-distilled, sweetened with agave nectar and proofed with water. It is about 10% sugar. This is not a bold, in your face ginger, but a sweet, drinkable ginger. It makes a great base for house infusions that would use ginger as an ingredient and add other ingredients.

BOOMSMA HOLLAND FRIESLAND Beerenburger Herbal Bitter 60PF / 750ML

An 11-herb tincture similar to Cloosterbitter but the botanicals are different. Full-bodied herbal bitter made by adding herbs to genever with notes of coriander, licorice, gentian, juniper berry and laurel. Has a smooth, yet bitter, finish. It is bracing neat, chilled and on the rocks—also a perfect bitter component in a whiskey-based cocktail. Clerkampster Cloosterbitter Liqueur 80PF / 100ML / 750ML This herbal bitter is produced by Dutch genever distiller Boomsma. Cloosterbitter is based on a 15th century recipe, made with a blend of 17 herbs and plants found in the Frisian meadows during the month of May. Delicious chilled on the rocks, in a mixed drink or in cocktails. “Tangy and sweet in the mouth, the ethereal softness complements the gentle herbal flavor that elaborates each sip before finishing with a touch of bitterness.” 91pts Excellent Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2016

including a base of aged Caribbean rum. 90pts Beverage Testing Institute 2017 Orange Curacao 60PF / 750ML

We start with aged Cognac blended with brandy and real fruit. The result is a sweet, rich curacao with lots of flavor. A cost-effective replacement for pricey orange liqueurs. “Orange liqueurs aren’t very sexy. They are the soccer moms of the liqueur world, helping everything out, but not really shining on their own. We aim to change that. We spent two years working on an orange liqueur. We wanted to make the margarita shine.”
