A bright, fresh hit straight from the orchards of Mildura — home to exceptional Australian oranges and the Marionette Margarita. Warm spice and cinnamon, sweetness from a trio of citruses, and scents of gingerbread, orange oil and sweet raisin. It’s basically a grassy gold glass of freshly baked citrus cake.
Complex in character, honest in flavour, Marionette Liqueur makes drinks and spirits dance.

Goulburn Valley really does a lot of heavy lifting when it comes to stunning stone fruit and the apricots used here are no exception. Indulgent, sticky lashings of spiced fruit with a surprisingly dry, fresh finish. All the delight of an apricot dessert without the effort of chewing.

Sweet, juicy Tasmanian blackcurrants turned into what could only be (but won’t be, for legal reasons) described as Ribena for adults. We call it a dry cassis because it’s a little more tart and has about half the sugar of its traditional French counterpart. Plush, zingy and sings with anything sparkling.

Beautifully plump blackberries fresh from the Tassie brambles make for an earthy, dark fruit aroma here. Expect a tart, almost jammy, first sip that unfurls into a mix of sour cherry, spice and tannin. Dark and complex, like the plot of Shutter Island.

Pair with almost all things bubbly.
You can take the fruit out of Far North Queensland but it took a motley crew of liqueur-makers to work out how to take the Far North Queensland out of the fruit and turn it into a damn good daiquiri. Green clove spice from the skins, a zap of fresh pineapple acid and a big ol’ tropical punch of proper fruit flavour in every sip.

Marionette Groseille is packed with dense, ripe, redcurrant notes on the nose, without being cordial sweet (more like a berry tart). On the palate it’s silky and fresh, with good concentration. Momentarily juicy and sweet in the middle, while maintaining a nice natural acidity through the finish. This elusive ingredient will let you create Christmas in a glass, at any time of the year.

A sister (not a twin) to your typical amaretto. The almonds that make our take on this classic cocktail staple come from the bountiful and biodynamic orchards of Mildura. We then add a lick of golden syrup and salt for maceration, marzipan-ness from Victorian apricot kernels and a little Rutherglen muscat to round it all out.

This one gets its flavour from perfectly ripe peaches and nectarines that spent their adolescence lazily soaking in the Goulburn Valley sun. Lightly floral white peach on the nose and crisp yellow nectarine on the palate. We’ve just about bottled the taste of summer.
