• Framboise: It’s a fruit infusion liqueur made by infusing, or soaking, raspberries (hence the name) in alcohol. This one, by Pacific Rim Winemakers of Portland, Ore., is made of fruit from Mike and Jean’s Berry Farm on Mount Vernon. It’s potent and sweet and intensely raspberry flavored. They suggest sipping it with chocolate after dinner or plopping it into a glass of bubbly for a kir royale. Oh, it may leave a hint of tannic residue in the bottom of the bottle. Pacific Rim suggests this is rich in antioxidants, so you should drink it. Recommended, at $14 per half bottle.
