American Orange
Liqueur
First released in 2011
40% Alc. by Vol. 80 Proof
Leopold Bros. steeps Curaçao and Bergamot oranges in spirit, then carefully distills the oranges in a forty gallon still, separating the clean citrus aromas from the bitterness that is inherent in the citrus pith. The resulting distillate rests in glass carboys, which softens the flavors and relaxes the mouthfeel. The liqueur is then sweetened with agave, but remains drier than other orange liqueurs. The Belgian candy sugar gives it a bit of a lasting confectioner’s finish. Leopold Bros. American Orange enlivens spirits of all varieties from whiskey, to tequila, to fernet, to gin, and more.

Maraschino
Liqueur
First released in 2011
30% Alc. by Vol. 60 Proof
In the tradition of fruit brandies, we start by macerating and fermenting small Marasca cherries from Croatia and distill the resulting cherry mash. We then add coriander and Montmorency cherry distillate and sweeten the blend with honey to create a soft and subtle liqueur with mild almond-like notes that are derived from the cherry pits. You will find the beauty of this liqueur in the nose when it adding it to classic cocktails.

Three Pins Alpine
Herbal Liqueur
First released in 2004
35% Alc. by Vol. 70 Proof
Traditionally, distillers in mountainous regions forage their local valleys and forests for the herbs, roots, and flowers to produce herbal liqueurs. Leopold Bros. uses a blend of botanicals found throughout the Rocky Mountains to create a complex herbal liqueur with warming spice and floral notes. Three Pins Alpine Herbal Liqueur derives its name from old fashioned telemark ski bindings that were secured by exactly three pins, and thus is intended as a nod to the traditions of the Rocky Mountains.

Frenchpress-Style American
Coffee Liqueur
First released in 2002
20% Alc. by Vol. 40 Proof
We begin by pressing a proprietary blend of freshly roasted coffee beans in our twenty-five litre waterpress. The press acts like a sieve, preserving the full-bodied, natural flavor of the beans once the coffee has been added to our spirit. We then add a touch of raw cane sugar to balance the acidity, and bottle the blend while it is still warm to lock in the fragrant coffee aroma. The result is perfect for classic cocktails or any dessert menu.

New York Sour Apple
Liqueur

20% Alc. by Vol. 40 Proof
Created from a blend of apples from the state of New York, we mix these apples with cane sugar and naturally produced lactic acid, which adds a refreshing tartness to the to the finish of this liqueur.
It's ideal for when acidity is needed, but not citrus in a cocktail. Nicely paired with vodka, and it blends perfectly with any sherry cocktail.
