Organic Liqueurs: A Loft-y Review

I receive quite a few requests to review products, and most of them I turn down because I don’t like reviewing products, and quite truthfully I don’t use a lot of products. For example, green cleaners don’t matter when all I use are vinegar, baking soda, and hydrogen peroxide!

Well, a while back I was contacted by a fairly local organic liqueur company, and I… I couldn’t say no. I’d never heard of an organic liqueur company – how fabulous!

So I let them send me a sample. It came in a cute little package like a little gift.

And it was heavenly.

There were several recipes tucked inside the box, but honestly I just poured and drank it straight. Very tasty, not too sweet, pure and flavorful.

You can buy it in several stores in California, New York and Oregon, or online at John Walker. It’s a little pricey, but it would be a wonderful gift to bring to a party host, or a pretty darn fun Valentine’s Day gift!

Wow! These look gorgeous and sound delicious! I want to try my hand at making something like them. I imagine the ginger is incredible! We had amazing luck with turning out Limoncello and Arancello (plus some cherry-vanilla bitters)…I would love to branch out. Nice!

Sounds wonderful! I have been looking into making my own liqueurs at home from the various fruits, berries and herbs we have here. They have some interesting varieties!

This sounds delicious and makes me wish I was still back in Portland! :-) Glad you got to try it out for them. I passed the info on to my gal pals still in PDX.

Awesome – I was afraid nobody would like my reviewing a product. But this is a great idea, isn’t it? Yum. And I LOOOOVE that Meg and Sheryl, this pushed you to make some of these on your own. Please let me know how it goes!! Sounds fabulous.
