Description

Ute Londrigan experimented with her recipe over the years, but it was her move from Germany to New York state-with its network of small, tight-knit family farms and orchards-that brought her vision of capturing the flavor and memory of her homeland to fruition. Ute’s line of fruit liqueurs is an ode to family tradition, and an effort to make tangible her sense of home and belonging: Heimat New York works closely in partnership with New York’s finest farms to source fresh seasonal fruit for their handcrafted, small-batch liqueurs. The lineup of liqueurs includes blackberry, rhubarb, white peach, raspberry, cranberry, and bosc pear. The process uses the whole fruit, and is on its way to being completely zero waste; there are no additives, colors, or preservatives, remaining authentic to nearly 100 years of German tradition. Ute’s relationship with local farmers and growers is essential-she picks up the fruit herself-their rhubarb is from Long Island; blackberries, pears, and white peaches are from farms in the Hudson Valley; Raspberries are from just beyond the Finger Lakes; and Cranberries are sourced far north, close to the Canadian border.
