New Deal Cascara Liqueur

New Deal Cascara Liqueur is a bottle of liqueur.

Cascara, which is the Spanish word for “husk" or "peel", is the skin of the coffee fruit, sometimes called a coffee cherry. To begin the process of coffee prodcution, the fruit of the coffee tree is picked and fermented. During this process, the skin and meat of the coffee cherry fruit is discarded and only the seed--what we call a coffee bean-- is retained. However, in countries where coffee trees grow natively, the skins are dried and made into a rather pleasant-flavored tea. This led us to the idea of experimenting with making the cascara into a liqueur.

Handcrafted with dried cascara, spirits, and pure cane sugar, our Cascara Liqueur brings a unique new taste to your cocktail toolkit. This intriguing liqueur begins with raisin, candied fig, and cookie on the nose. It has a delicate, layered body that combines notes of dried apricot, black tea, honey, hay, baking spice, and maple with a long, persistent finish. Excellent as a simple syrup substitute, in dessert cocktails, or enjoyed neat after dinner.
