Patique Cherry Liqueur is a California cherry liqueur bottled at 19% ABV (38 proof) in a 375ml bottle. It is made by the Azpeitia family under the Patique name.
The family crushes and ferments its cherries on site, and the fermented juice goes to a local distiller to become a clear cherry brandy.
That cherry brandy base is then cut to 19% with pure Bing cherry juice, so the liqueur is cherry from start to finish.
In the glass it is deep ruby red, with ripe, juicy Bing cherry, a gentle brandy warmth and a bright, fruity finish.
Its label with a cherry tree makes it a charming gift, and it has earned medals at the USA Spirits Ratings and Bartender Spirits Awards.

How to Enjoy It
Serve Patique Cherry Liqueur chilled over ice, or top it with sparkling wine for a ruby cherry spritz. It brings fresh cherry to a Manhattan, an Old Fashioned or a whiskey sour, and makes a lovely cherry margarita or a cherry vodka soda. Drizzle it over vanilla ice cream, cheesecake or chocolate cake, or add it to a sauce for duck or pork. Pair it with dark chocolate and soft cheeses, or a slice of cherry pie. At the holidays, warm a little with red wine, orange peel and cinnamon for a cherry mulled wine. For a summer party, mix it with lemonade and fresh cherries in a pitcher. Keep the bottle in a cool, dark place after opening.
