Rothman & Winter Orchard Apricot Liqueur combines juice from the seasonal harvest of Austria's famed Klosterneuberger apricots with an eau-de-vie produced from this same fruit. Destillerie Purkhart selects its apricots each season from family orchards in the Danube Valley and surrounding regions. Use wherever “apricot brandy” or “apricot-flavored brandy” appears in a recipe, drink with sparkling wine or wheat beer, or substitute for triple sec for a Margarita variation.
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. The Creme de Violette is a pure Violette, without any added vanilla or fruit, working as the magical bridging ingredient in so many classic cocktails. 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.
Since 1932 the Purkhart family has produced award winning eaux-de-vie (brandy or “brand”), schnaps and liqueurs. Renowned for his exacting standards and consistent quality, Günter Purkhart has taught distillation technique to many of today’s leading producers. Capturing elegance of ripe fruit and authentic regional tastes is a family passion.
