Leopold Bros Rocky Mountain Blackberry Liqueur

Shipping not available. In-store pickup only.

We’ve always been fans of crème de mûre, but our preference for drier cordials and liqueurs that emphasize the fruit over the sugary sweetness is what led us to create our own version. The goal with the Leopold Bros Blackberry Liqueur was to make a spirit that could be mixed into cocktails and sipped without drifting into the cloying or overripe characteristics. As with all our products, maintaining the integrity of the fruit itself is key.

Blackberry has a minerality to it that we really enjoy and that differentiates it from other fruits and berries. We use two types of berries—both blackberries and marionberries, which is a type of blackberry—because of the acidity difference. Blackberries are higher in acidity, which is balanced out by the soft, sweet flavors of the marionberries.

We keep the production process is as simple as possible. We juice the berries, mix that juice with our in-house spirit (made 100% from scratch by us, never purchased), and add a touch of cane sugar—nothing more. Because of this, the quality of the berries themselves is very important.

Ultimately, the production is an infusion, not a distillation. The sweet, tangy, fruity, and mineral elements are front and center and perfect for mixing in a smash, punch, or sour cocktail.
