St-Germain Elderflower Liquéur — French Alps (375ml)

St-Germain is the world’s most celebrated elderflower liquéur — a bottle that has become as essential behind the bar as it is beautiful on the shelf. Made from 100% fresh, hand-harvested elderflower blossoms gathered each spring in the foothills of the French Alps, St-Germain captures a fleeting seasonal ingredient at its peak and transforms it into something timeless. The harvest window is just a few weeks each year; the blossoms are picked by hand and macerated immediately to preserve their delicate, aromatic character. The result is a liquéur of extraordinary subtlety and complexity — with roughly half the sugar content of most liquéurs, it is as versatile as it is refined.

The nose is fresh and floral: white peach, pear, grapefruit zest, and a delicate elderflower blossom sweetness that is unmistakably St-Germain. On the palate, the liquéur is silky and elegant — subtle yet complex, with a clean, lightly sweet finish that integrates seamlessly into cocktails or shines on its own over ice. Add a splash to Champagne or Prosecco for an effortless festive cocktail, stir into a Spritz, or use as the secret ingredient in a St-Germain Sour or French 75.

“All natural, made from 100% fresh, hand-picked elderflowers. Subtle yet complex flavor. Low sugar content — roughly half that of other liquéurs.” — St-Germain

Our first single varietal made from 100% Titania blackcurrants hand harvested in the Hudson Valley, NY. A profile once compelling and confusing, intensely savory not always what you expect. Adjust your reality. Enjoy neat or in cocktails. 

Coquito is Puerto Rico’s answer to eggnog — richer, more aromatic, and unmistakably tropical. A beloved holiday tradition across the island and the Puerto Rican diaspora, it has been passed down through generations in handwritten recipes, made in large batches, and shared at Christmas gatherings as both drink and gift. Bacàrdí — whose roots in Puerto Rico run deep — has bottled that tradition in a form that is ready to pour.

Made with Bacàrdí Superior Rum as its base, this cream liqueur blends natural coconut cream with vanilla, cinnamon, and warm spice in a recipe that captures the spirit of homemade Coquito without requiring a blender. The result is indulgent and smoothly balanced — sweet but not cloying, with the gentle warmth of rum lifting the coconut cream into something genuinely festive and satisfying.

On the nose: toasted coconut, vanilla bean, and a whisper of cinnamon. The palate is rich and velvety, with coconut at the center, backed by warm baking spice and a clean rum finish. Best enjoyed cold, over ice, or straight from the refrigerator — exactly as you would serve it at a holiday table in San Juan.

• Producer: Bacàrdí
• Style: Coconut Cream Liqueur
• Base: Bacàrdí Superior Rum
• Flavor: Coconut cream, vanilla, cinnamon & warm spice
• Origin: Puerto Rico
• Format: 750ml

Serving Suggestions: Serve chilled or over ice in a small glass. Excellent in a Coquito cocktail, blended with ice as a frozen treat, or alongside holiday desserts. Refrigerate after opening.

Campari Aperitivo — Milan, Italy 48 Proof

Campari is one of the world's most iconic spirits — the aperitif par excellence, born in Milan in 1860 from the experiments of Gaspare Campari and unchanged for over 150 years. The recipe is one of the most closely guarded secrets in the drinks world: a precise infusion of herbs, aromatic plants, and fruit in alcohol and water, with the exact number of ingredients debated by enthusiasts — some say 20, others 60, others still 80. What is certain is that no one has ever replicated it. Campari's unmistakable ruby-red color, bittersweet complexity, and aromatic intensity have made it the foundation of some of the world's greatest cocktails — the Negroni, the Campari Spritz, and the Americano among them.

The nose is intensely aromatic: bitter orange peel, cherry, rhubarb, and a complex herbal bouquet of roots, spices, and botanicals. On the palate, it is boldly bittersweet — a wave of citrus peel and cherry up front, followed by layers of herbal complexity, a touch of vanilla, and a long, pleasantly bitter finish that lingers and invites the next sip. Unmistakable. Irreplaceable.

Producer Description 

The original liqueur of Veracruz! Kahlua relies on two of the region's finest ingredients- sugarcane and 100% Arabica coffee. 

In the hill town of Ascoli Piceno, in the heart of Le Marche, the Meletti family has been crafting their celebrated amaro since the late 19th century. The recipe — a closely guarded secret passed down through generations — draws on the aromatic herbs, roots, and spices of the surrounding countryside, including bitter genziana root native to the region, sweet orange peel, and cloves. The result is one of Italy's most beloved digestivi: balanced, complex, and unmistakably Italian.

The Meletti Liquore Amaro 750ml sits in a beautifully balanced middle ground — neither aggressively bitter nor cloying sweet. The nose is brisk and invigorating, hovering between herbal and medicinal. On the palate, rich caramel and hazelnut flavors take the lead, with just enough bitterness and baking spice to keep things lively and interesting. Traditionally enjoyed neat after a meal, it also adds a distinctive, aromatic depth to cocktails.

Wine Enthusiast 93 Points | Grand Marnier-or "GrandMa," as some cocktail geeks gleefully shorthand it-remains one of the classics. Although it's Cognac-based, it's a versatile match for other spirits, too. The liqueur is extremely aromatic, with lots of sweet and bitter orange notes exploding out of the glass. Look for a warm, honeyed flavor and a nice burst of orange peel and spicy cinnamon and ginger on the long finish.

Chartreuse Jaune (Yellow) — Liqueur, 43% ABV

Made by the Carthusian monks of the Grande Chartreuse monastery in the French Alps since 1838, Chartreuse Yellow is one of the world’s most extraordinary and irreplaceable liqueurs. Like its iconic Green sibling, it is produced by macerating over 130 different herbs, plants, roots, and botanicals — a secret recipe known only to two monks at any given time.

Where Green Chartreuse is bold and assertive, Yellow is the softer, more honeyed expression — prized for its floral complexity, gentle sweetness, and remarkable depth. The nose opens with wildflower honey, cardamom, anise, and citrus zest, with coriander and herbal notes weaving through. On the palate, it is lush, warming, and beautifully balanced — “gloriously lush,” as Wine Enthusiast put it, awarding it 90–95 points.

Cointreau L'Unique Orange Liqueur — France

Cointreau is the original triple sec — the benchmark against which every orange liqueur is measured. Distilled in Saint-Barthélemy-d'Anjou since 1875, L'Unique is crafted from a precise blend of sweet and bitter orange peels sourced from around the world, triple-distilled in copper pot stills to achieve its signature clarity and balance. At 80 proof, it is at once intensely aromatic and supremely versatile — the essential building block of the Margarita, Cosmopolitan, and Sidecar, and a sublime digestif on its own over ice.

The nose opens with a sophisticated orange pulp bouquet that, after aeration, shifts to dry, elegant peel. On the palate, the entry is intensely orange peel-like yet more sweet than bittersweet; the midpalate is deeply orangey, sweet, and sublimely juicy. The finish is ideally citrusy, tart, and astringent before turning lithe and sweet — a textbook expression of what orange liqueur can be.

Wine Enthusiast 92 — "The benchmark for all orange flavored liqueurs and triple secs. State of the art."
