The essence of Lehigh Valley is distilled at several local booze businesses.
From the original distillation of liquors like applejack to modern-day takes on bourbon and whiskeys, distilleries throughout Lehigh Valley are churning out impressive products. Sample the varieties straight or opt for a cocktail prepared with local spirits.
Standouts include the spiced rum made with vanilla, cinnamon, orange peel, anise, and cardamom at Social Still in Bethlehem; Authentic Applejack at Eight Oaks Farm Distillery in New Tripoli, made with apple cider from Scholl Orchards in Kempton; and vodka, gin, bourbon, and whiskey, and rye made as a nod to the local community from Hawk Mountain Distillery.
One of Christmas City Spirits' most unique offerings is cherry bounce. This cherry-infused, spiced liquor was popular in colonial America and said to be a favorite of George Washington. In contrast, over at Kilimanjaro Distillery, the local favorite pays homage to Made in PA as the Penna Dutch Liqueur & Pear cocktail, bringing together Xplorer Spirits Penna Dutch Liqueur, pear syrup, lemon juice, and sparkling water.
