Leopold's Michigan Tart Cherry Liqueur

Wine information: Leopold Bros.is a family owned and operated small batch distillery located in Denver, Colorado. Todd Leopold got his start in distilling after he received his Diploma in Malting and Brewing from the Siebel Institute of Technology in Chicago in 1996. After graduation, he trained at the Doemens School in Munich, focusing on the production of lager beers. He then apprenticed at several breweries and distilleries throughout Germany. Scott Leopold began his career in manufacturing after receiving a B.A. in Economics and a B.S. in Industrial Engineering from Northwestern University and a Masters in Environmental Engineering from Stanford University. He spent the early part of his career engineering environmentally sustainable manufacturing processes for Fortune 500 companies, as well as designing wastewater treatment systems for both industry and municipalities. Together, the Leopold Brothers designed and developed a unique distillery in which environmental sustainability is a daily practice, and the art and science of fermentation and distillation is practiced at the highest possible level. Cherries are generally categorized as either sweet or tart. The former predominates in beverage production, while the more rare tart varietals are mainly used in cooking. Leopold Bros. use the very finest Montmorency tart cherries from the Northern reaches of Michigan for their Tart Cherry Liqueur. These tart cherries are prized the world over, and yet no one else in the world produces a liqueur with these perfect little stone-fruits. Unlike other cherry liqueurs, which are often made with artificial flavours, this Cherry liqueur maintains a balance between slightly tart and a twinge of sweetness that can only come from real Montmorency cherries. As a result, it is brilliant in many turn of the century cocktails like the Cherry Cricket, and is also a welcome addition to a hot stack of pancakes. Todd Leopold finds that just a ¼ ounce of the Michigan Tart Cherry Liqueur is the perfect replacement of the customary lime in a Gin & Tonic.
