Whole Marasca cherries, pit and all, are naturally fermented — without added yeast or sugar — and distilled as an eau-de-vie to provide the base of this classic cocktailing liqueur from Leopold Bros of Denver, Colorado. The eau-de-vie is then blended with a separate spirit made by distilling pitted Montmorency cherries from Traverse City, Michigan, as an eau-de-vie which is then redistilled with coriander, and sweetened with Colorado honey. A far cry from the polarizing "cherry" liqueurs found on too many back bars and bar carts, it demonstrates the artisanal approach the distillery takes to its library of liqueurs.
How to Use: The Aviation, the Last Word, the Hemingway Daiquiri — the classic maraschino cocktails, made right.
