Rothman & Winter Orchard Apricot Liqueur - 750ml

Description

Rothman & Winter Orchard Apricot Liqueur is an Austrian fruit liqueur made from Klosterneuberger apricots grown in the Danube Valley and surrounding regions. Apricot juice from the seasonal harvest is blended with apricot eau-de-vie, giving the liqueur fresh stone fruit aroma, natural acidity, and a cleaner profile than many sweeter apricot cordials. Bottled at 24% ABV, it is built for classic cocktails, sparkling serves, and tropical drinks.

Producer

Rothman & Winter is produced by Destillerie Purkhart, an Austrian family distillery with roots dating to 1932. The Purkhart family is known for eaux-de-vie, schnaps, and traditional fruit liqueurs that emphasize regional fruit character. Their Rothman & Winter liqueurs start with the fruit’s own juice and eau-de-vie, then are bottled at higher proof with less sugar to keep the flavor vivid and cocktail-friendly.

Cocktail Suggestions

Rothman & Winter Orchard Apricot Liqueur is a natural fit for a Hotel Nacional with aged rum, pineapple juice, lime juice, and simple syrup. The apricot adds soft stone fruit depth that ties into the pineapple and rum, while the lime keeps the cocktail bright and balanced.

It also works well in a Pendennis Club with London Dry gin, fresh lime juice, and Peychaud’s bitters. The gin gives the drink structure, the bitters add aromatic spice, and the apricot liqueur provides fresh fruit sweetness without turning the cocktail heavy.
