Day Trip Blueberry is a vivid, fruit-driven amaro built around New Jersey-grown blueberries sourced via Briermere Farms. Bursting with nostalgic summer energy, this amaro is fortified with a suite of botanical distillates and lightly sweetened with house-made syrups for a layered, bittersweet expression.

The process begins by foot-treading fresh blueberries and fermenting the juice into a deeply expressive wine. To lock in peak flavor and color, the wine is fortified with distillates of yuzu, cherry blossom, makrut lime leaf, lemon, cinnamon, and coconut—each made using house spirits from certified organic, New York-grown corn.

Sweetness is gently lifted by syrups made from Kellogg’s cornflakes and Madagascar vanilla beans sourced from Rare Tea Cellar. Orris root, quassia, and gentian bring structure and balance, introducing earthy, floral, and woodsy bitterness. The amaro is cold-settled and racked to preserve purity and clarity before bottling.
