Rothman & Winter Orchard Pear Liqueur

  • Distilled from the seasonal harvest of Williams Pears
  • Mix with flavorful white spirits
  • Drizzle into soda water, wheat beer or sparkling wine
  • Purkhart has made eaux-de-vie and liqueurs since 1932
  • Higher proof and less sugar reinforce fruit intensity

Rothman & Winter Orchard Pear Liqueur combines juice from the seasonal harvest of Williams Pears with an eau-de-vie produced from the same fruit. The resulting liqueur captures the great aromatic of fresh pears, yet without the excessive sweetness of other producers. Destillerie Purkhart selects its pears each season from orchards in both South Tirol (Alto Adige) and the Danube Valley. Mix with flavorful white spirits, or drizzle into sparkling wine, wheat beer or soda.

The Rothman & Winter collection reflects three generations of producing liqueurs of exceptional character and authenticity. Each fruit liqueur starts with the fruit’s own eau-de-vie and juice, for intensity of fruit flavor. We bottle at higher proof and with less sugar to reinforce that intensity and maximize the number of uses for each fruit liqueur. Drink any of the Rothman & Winter liqueurs with sparkling wine or soda, or use them in simple cocktails; the lightweight, slimline bottle takes up less space on the bar, and may have the lowest carbon footprint of liqueurs today.

About Fruit Liqueurs

Key to many classic cocktails, fruit liqueurs date back centuries as a way to preserve and concentrate the flavors of the annual harvest of tree fruits, stone fruits, berries and other varieties. The Rothman & Winter collection reflects three generations of producing liqueurs of exceptional character and authenticity. Each fruit liqueur starts with the fruit’s own eau-de-vie and juice, for intensity of fruit flavor. We bottle at higher proof and with less sugar to reinforce that intensity and maximize the number of uses for each fruit liqueur. Drink any of these liqueurs with sparkling wine or soda, or use them in simple cocktails. The lightweight, slimline bottle takes up less space on the bar, and may have the lowest carbon footprint of liqueurs in the market today. Full details
