Two new Prenzel Limited Edition Liqueurs

We are proud to welcome back some very popular Limited Edition Liqueurs... Raspberry Brandy Liqueur (1000 bottles made) - pictured here, and Oak Aged Apricot Liqueur (1100 bottles made).

The Raspberry Brandy is made using Prenzel's Raspberry Brandy which is aged for ten years. Added to this is natural raspberry nectar from locally sourced raspberries.

The Oak Aged Apricot Brandy is made using Prenzel's Apricot Brandy. Then hand picked and hand stoned Marlborough Apricots were hand smashed and added to the Brandy base. The result is an exquisite aromatic liqueur which is very smoth and almost nectar-like on the palate.

Both liqueurs are in numbered 375ml bottles, and can be enjoyed on their own or in cocktails, such as the Foxy Redhead cocktail we created recently for Prenzel Botany's first birthday celebrations.

Come in store to Whitford or Botany to taste these extraordinary liqueurs. Treat yourself or give them to someone you love - they are the perfect gift to give those who think they have everything!

Prenzel Launches Limoncello

A taste of Italy – Lemon Zest – has just been released by Marlborough’s Prenzel Distilling Company.

Light, sweet and smooth, this new product has none of the sourness often associated with lemons and is styled after the popular European drink, Limoncello, traditionally made in Southern Italy.

Prenzel distiller Hayden Johnstone says the distinctive character of this Limoncello-style liqueur is derived from the zest (peel), rather than the juice of lemons. “Lemon Zest is made from Marlborough-grown lemons with the whole production process taking anything between four and six months. The new product, at 32% alcohol, has a flavour quite different from Prenzel’s tangy, juice-based Citron Ice and is now a permanent feature of our Prenzel range.”

In Italy, Limoncello is traditionally served as a digestif drink before a meal. Lemon Zest is designed to be more versatile and asks to be enjoyed at any time of day. Serve crisp and chilled from the freezer over ice, or add soda for a long refreshing thirst quencher. For something with more bite add to vodka or champagne.

To taste this refreshing new product, perfect for summer drinking, visit the Prenzel Shop in Town Centre Drive, Botany Town Centre or Prenzel of Whitford, 7 Whitford Wharf Road, Whitford Village.
