Bruised Heart
A deep crimson shooter that blends the clean taste of vodka with rich black raspberry liqueur and sweet peach schnapps, finished with a tart splash of cranberry juice. This fruity and potent shot offers a complex, berry-forward profile.
What it tastes like
The aroma is dominated by concentrated raspberry and peach notes. The palate is sugary and fruit-forward with a slightly viscous mouthfeel. A brief finish provides a tart cranberry bite that cuts through the sweetness.
