Shae Pridemore <a href=\"https:\/\/gervasivineyard.com\/spirits\/distillery\/\">distills liqueurs<\/a> at Gervasi Vineyard Resort &amp; Spa (GV). \u00a0He said GV\u2019s liqueurs are popular for many reasons including Gervasi\u2019s use of fresh ingredients.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-9\">Shae said, \u201cLiqueurs are a type of distilled spirit. The difference comes in the finishing of the liqueurs. Typically, a flavor is infused and legally to be called a liqueur a percentage of sugar is added. Our use of local and fresh ingredients gives our spirits an elevated flavor profile. From the locally-sourced blueberries, the freshly roasted coffee beans, or when we peel the citrus by hand. We don\u2019t take shortcuts and that makes us proud of our liqueurs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30790 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/gervasivineyard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CitroBlog.jpg\" alt=\"Gervasi Spirits Citro citrus liqueur with two orange jalape\u00f1o cocktails rimmed with chili salt on a wooden board\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-10\"><strong>Guests\u2019 Favorite Pairings<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-11\">Gervasi offers three popular liqueurs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"ai-optimize-12\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gervasivineyard.com\/product\/blu-blueberry-liqueur\">BLU<\/a> &#8212; Gervasi\u2019s BLU is fashioned by a maceration of farm fresh blueberries and fine grain spirits crafting a liqueur with summery blueberry notes. The blueberries hail from Blossom Creek Farm situated in Northeast Ohio\u2019s beautiful rolling hills. The liqueur is crafted with excellence in Gervasi\u2019s boutique distillery. Enjoy BLU\u2019s sunny delights as you wish &#8211; even with delectable desserts.<\/li>\n<li class=\"ai-optimize-13\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gervasivineyard.com\/product\/citro-citrus-liqueur\">Citro<\/a> &#8212; Gervasi\u2019s Citro liqueur represents the juncture of a lemon-lime-orange trio producing a poised and zestfully delightful experience of tart citrus and velvety sweetness. \u00a0Enjoy it chilled, in cocktails or even drizzled on desserts. \u00a0Experience the sunshine of Citro.<\/li>\n<li class=\"ai-optimize-14\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gervasivineyard.com\/product\/giava-coffee-liqueur\">Giava<\/a> &#8212; Gervasi\u2019s Giava liqueur is an exquisite composition emanating from tailor-roasted coffee delivering rich coffee flavors and aromas augmented by alluring sweetness. Experience the lush rush of Giava.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-15\">\u201cOur first liqueur and best seller is BLU, our blueberry liqueur. We use locally grown blueberries that macerate for three months. The bright blueberry flavor really feels like summer,\u201d Shae said. \u201cBLU goes nicely over a bowl full of lemon sorbet. We have paired Giava, our coffee liqueur, with vanilla bean ice cream, either on the side or poured right over top for our more adventurous guests. My personal favorite is a glass of our Citro with a slice of dark chocolate cake.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30791 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/gervasivineyard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/GiavaBlog.jpg\" alt=\"Giava coffee liqueur from Gervasi Spirits beside a freshly shaken espresso martini with coffee beans and bar tools on a white surface\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-16\"><strong>Never Too Fancy to Try<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-17\">Some people think that liqueurs might be too fancy for them to try, but Shae has a different take for those coming to GV.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-18\">\u201cOur most labor-intensive product we create here is actually one of our liqueurs. The Citro, which is similar to a limoncello, except we use lemons, limes and oranges, is by far the most intense project we have. It took a team working around a table of old-school apple peelers a week to peel 10,000 individual citrus fruits. But in the end, it was absolutely worth it, it is one of my personal favorites at Gervasi. Our liqueurs are meant to be enjoyed neat, mixed into cocktails, or served over ice cream for a fun dessert. I make these bright and fun spirits for a cozy night in or a fun party with friends. No matter the occasion, relaxed and casual or fancy they are meant to be enjoyed and bring a little bit of joy to your day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-19\">Guests can try any of the GV liqueurs in craft cocktails when dining at <a href=\"https:\/\/gervasivineyard.com\/dine\/the-bistro\/\">The Bistro<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gervasivineyard.com\/dine\/the-crush-house\/\">The Crush House<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gervasivineyard.com\/dine\/the-still-house\/\">The Still House<\/a>, \u00a0and <a href=\"https:\/\/gervasivineyard.com\/dine\/the-piazza\/\">The Piazza<\/a> or purchase them for their home bar at the <a href=\"https:\/\/gervasivineyard.com\/the-marketplace\/\">Marketplace<\/a> gift shop.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30261 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/gervasivineyard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Spring-Blog.jpg\" alt=\"Friends toasting with cocktails at an outdoor vineyard table featuring Gervasi Spirits including gin, bourbon, and fruit garnishes\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The world of liqueurs has been described as \u201ctantalizing\u201d and \u201cwhere flavors come alive\u201d.
