MATCHBOOK ELSEWHERE BLOOD ORANGE LIQUEUR 750M

Matchbook Elsewhere Blood Orange Aperitivo 750 mL

Tasting / Profile

• Crafted by Matchbook Distilling in Greenport, Long Island, using neutral spirit from corn and fresh blood oranges macerated for several weeks; the process yields a rich ruby-orange hue and layered flavour. 

• Flavor profile: prominent blood orange (peel + pulp), bittersweet citrus backbone, herbal-botanical depth (pink peppercorns, cloud-forest cardamom, quassia, wild cherry bark). 

• ABV: 30% (60 proof) typical for the listing.

Menu Versatility

• Serve as a chilled aperitif over ice with soda water or tonic and an orange twist.

• Use as a substitute or highlight for lighter bitter/citrus aperitifs (think in place of Aperol or Campari) to create “Blood Orange Spritz”, “Ruby Boulevardier”, or “Elsewhere Negroni” variants.

• Feature in seasonal specials or patio menus where bright citrus and bittersweet flavour appeal.

• Include in cocktail flights or promote as a unique “local craft” ingredient to captivate guests looking for something beyond standard liqueurs.

Operational Efficiency

• Standard 750 mL bottle fits current back-bar and shelf inventory systems.

• With 30% ABV, portion control is manageable and still commands a premium feel without ultra‐high proof.

• The brand’s story (small batch, Long Island craft distilling) helps staff promotion and guest engagement, which supports turnover.

• Being a niche but distinctive SKU, it is useful for differentiation without high risk of oversaturation.

Profit Potential

• Positioned in the premium aperitif/liqueur tier—supports higher by-the-glass pricing and margin.

• Upsell idea: create a signature house spritz (e.g., “Elsewhere Ruby Spritz”) with branded glassware and garnish, increasing check average.

• Use in guest-facing menus as “local craft blood orange aperitif” to justify premium price and drive interest.

• Pair with light food menus (shellfish, citrus dishes, bar snacks) to cross-sell and increment guest spend.
