Staff Pick Notes

This is the perfect ingredient for holiday cocktails! Zirbenz is an artisanal, natural liqueur that draws it's flavor and beautiful red color from the Arolla Stone Pine. Harvesters must first ascend to high elevations then climb the trees to pick the fruit at peek season. It's exceptionally smooth and slightly sweet with a beautiful dry floral pine finish.
