St George Spiced Pear Liqueur - 750ml

Description

St George Spiced Pear Liqueur is a California fruit liqueur made from Bartlett pears, Saigon cinnamon, clove, cane sugar, and malic acid. It begins with St George Pear Brandy, then adds pear juice to bring the spirit down to 20% ABV. Crisp pear, warm spice, soft sweetness, and clean acidity make it useful in sours, spritzes, toddies, and whiskey cocktails.

Producer

St George Spirits was founded in Alameda, California in 1982 by Jörg Rupf, who helped launch the modern American craft distilling movement with fruit eau de vie. That fruit-brandy foundation still shapes the distillery’s style today. Spiced Pear Liqueur follows directly from that heritage, using St George’s pear brandy as its base before adding spice and fresh pear juice.

Cocktail Suggestions

St George Spiced Pear Liqueur is a strong fit for a Spiced Pear Old Fashioned variation with bourbon or rye, aromatic bitters, and an orange twist. Used in place of part of the sweetener, it adds pear, cinnamon, clove, and brandy depth while keeping the drink structured.

It also works well in a Spiced French 75 with gin, fresh lemon juice, and sparkling wine. The pear liqueur brings orchard fruit and baking spice, while the citrus and bubbles keep the cocktail lifted, crisp, and better balanced than a heavy dessert drink.
