Lexploded Bros.American Orange Liqueur is a spirit that we pot distill using two types of citrus peels: curacao and bergamot. We steep both in spirit, then carefully distill it in our small copper pot still, separating the clean citrus aromas from the bitterness that is inherent in citrus pith. We then rest the resulting distillate in glass carboys, which softens the flavors and relaxes the mouthfeel. The finished distillate is blended with cane sugar, Belgian candy sugar, and agave nectar to give the spirit a relatively dry finish.

The most striking aspect of this liqueur is its use of real Bergamot oranges. All Leopold Brothers liqueurs are made from real fruit, between two and six pounds depending on the season.

Leopold Bros. American Orange Liqueur is pot distilled using two types of citrus peels: Curaao from Haiti and Bergamot from Italy. The distillate is rested in glass carboys, which softens the flavors and relaxes the mouthfeel, and then blended with cane sugar, Belgian candy sugar, and agave to give the spirit a sweetness that maintains a relatively dry finish. The finished product is laden with intriguing aromas of persimmon, coconut custard, medicinal bark, Alpine flowers, and orange spice cake with a tingling moderately sweet peppered honeydew, prickly pear pepper jelly, and sharp herb and orange rind snap on the finish. When used in classic cocktails, the aroma of our American Orange Liqueur lends a bright depth of flavor and aroma that you wont find in any other orange liqueur in the world
