Clear Creek Cranberry Liqueur is a deep red fruit liqueur from Clear Creek Distillery in Hood River, Oregon, made from big, juicy Oregon Coast cranberries and bottled at 39 proof (19.5% ABV) in a 375ml bottle.
Clear Creek Distillery was founded in 1985 and is known for its fruit brandies and eaux de vie inspired by European traditions. Its fruit liqueurs, including cranberry, cassis, cherry, loganberry, marionberry, pear and raspberry, are made to be true to the fruit, a beautiful reflection of the Pacific Northwest in every glass.
Cranberry Liqueur is, as the label puts it, a delicious liqueur from an unexpected berry. Made from Oregon Coast cranberries, it is deep red, bright and lightly sweet, with the tartness and balance unique to the fruit.
Expect fresh, tart cranberry on the nose, a bright, lightly sweet palate of ripe red berries with a refreshing tartness, and a clean, fruity finish.
Clear Creek liqueurs can be enjoyed after dinner served neat in a cordial glass, in cocktails, with Champagne for a Kir Royale, or over good vanilla ice cream, and the applications are limitless. Add a splash to sparkling wine for a festive holiday toast, stir it into a Cosmopolitan in place of cranberry juice, or mix it with gin and tonic for a ruby-red highball. It is lovely drizzled over cheesecake or mixed into a holiday punch. Pair it with roast turkey, brie, dark chocolate or orange shortbread. The small bottle makes it an easy, elegant gift for the holidays and Thanksgiving tables.
