Summer Night Aronia (Chokeberry) Liqueur

Stillus Summer Night Aronia Liqueur showcases the unique characteristics of the aronia berry, handcrafted right here in Prince Edward County. Moving away from overly sweet, mass-produced commercial drinks, this expression highlights the complex personality of the aronia berry (also known as the chokeberry)—a fruit native to North America that is celebrated for its deep, wine-like tannic structure and intense dark pigments.

We steep an exceptionally heavy amount of these whole berries directly into a wheat spirit. Rather than relying on industrial corn syrups or artificial food dyes, this liqueur draws its striking deep-purple color and velvety mouthfeel entirely from the natural berry skins. The patient infusion process coaxes out a sophisticated balance of robust, dry fruit notes, balanced with just enough pure cane sugar to soften the berry’s natural astringency. It leaves you with a rich, multi-layered profile that honors the authentic taste of the fruit.

Summer Night is a true limited-run release crafted in only one single batch per year. It serves as an elegant dessert pour to be enjoyed neat, a rich topping over vanilla gelato, or a deeply colored ingredient designed to bring a sophisticated twist to premium craft cocktails.
