The Story of Apologue Persimmon

Apologue, based in Thornton, Illinois, builds this liqueur around ripe persimmon, a sweet, tannic fruit with honeyed flesh, sourced from Twin Tykes, a multi-generation family farm in Indiana. The persimmon pulp is macerated in non-GMO grain spirit with hibiscus, cinchona bark, gentian root, rhubarb root, ginger, green cardamom, spearmint and citrus peels, then sweetened with organic cane sugar. It was built for cocktails and the people who mix them.
