St. George Spiced Pear Liqueur

Pear Liqueur | 20% ABV | 40 Proof | 750mL | Alameda, California | Pear Brandy Base

Process & Profile

St. George Spiced Pear Liqueur brings Bartlett pear flavor together with cinnamon and clove in a rich, aromatic liqueur. Made in Alameda, California, it begins with the distillery’s flagship pear brandy, which is infused with Saigon cinnamon and clove. Pear juice brings the spirit down to bottling strength, while organic cane sugar and malic acid balance sweetness and acidity.

Fresh pear aromas lead into a fuller pear-butter character on the palate, with warming spice running through each sip. The texture is rounded and substantial, giving it enough presence to enjoy on its own while adding fruit and spice to cocktails. Bright acidity keeps the sweetness balanced through the lingering finish.
