Seasonal Spirits
Cooper’s Daughter Spirits at Olde York Farm is a woman-owned and family-operated distillery sourcing foraged and farmed Hudson Valley ingredients to make seasonal, small batch spirits. The farm consists of apples orchards and black walnut tree groves to produce our vodka, whiskey, and bourbon. The property is part of the historic Jacob Rutsen van Rensselaer House and Mill complex, which had a distillery and cooperage circa 1805. Today our distillery and cooperage reside in Rensselaer's former carriage house. Barrels are handmade on site to age our bourbon and whiskey. Vodka and liqueur are distilled from apples and infused with local botanicals. For shopping options check our our cocktail garden, finding a store near you, shipping, and cocktail gift box pages.
Black Walnut Bourbon (spring) AVAILABLE $43/$69
Bourbon aged in our own American White Oak barrels and finished in a second barrel that was used to store black walnut syrup tapped from trees at the distillery and surrounding groves. This rare nutty syrup creates an irresistibly smooth and slightly sweet bourbon. Makes a great fireside sipper, poured over a large ice cube.
Ramp Vodka (Spring) AVAILABLE $32
It’s not truly Spring in the Hudson Valley until ramps begin to sprout and appear on every farm-to-table menu in the surrounding area. At Cooper’s Daughter we take this culinary ingredient a step further, so that it can be utilized in cocktail form and be preserved for cooking longer than the short time it’s available to forage. This vodka is an infusion of one of the most revered culinary ingredients of the Hudson Valley. Sustainably foraged from the distillery property and local areas in the early spring and infused into our crystal clean vodka. Intense onion flavor with a slightly sweet grassy finish. Hello, Sunday morning Bloody Mary.
Rhubarb & Honey Vodka (Summer) AVAILABLE $32
Inspired by our family from the Rhubarb Triangle in Yorkshire England. A sour and sweet 80 proof vodka flavored with organic rhubarb grown at our orchard in Red Hook, NY and sweetened with Ray Tousey raw honey. Mix as a Moscow Mule or replace tequila in any recipe.
Rose Liqueur (Summer) OUT OF SEASON $36
The roses for this liqueur have been passed down and grown by generations of women in our family and are used to give this liqueur it's intoxicating scent, taste, and pink color. In tradition with Italian Rosolio (which translates to "dew of the sun") we pick the flowers during the hottest days of summer and pluck each petal from the rose to infuse flavor into this spirit. This beverage is traditionally served as a symbol of good luck at weddings and other important life events. It makes for a very special champagne toast with strong notes of romance and dewy pink petals.
Thai Basil Liqueur (Summer) AVAILABLE $36
Organic Thai Basil is grown right here in the heart of the Hudson Valley by Deep Roots Farm, Whistle Down Farm, and Common Hands Farm. This infusion creates a burst of herbaceous flavor with peppery notes. This liqueur can be enjoyed alone as a digestif, but also makes for a unique mixer. The Thai Basil with a slice of cucumber brings freshness to bourbon and it can also be used to create a twist on the classic mojito.
Smoked Maple bourbon (Year-Round) Available $37/$63
Our bourbon is cask finished with organic maple syrup from Maple Leaf Sugaring in Ghent, NY, which has been smoked with American white oak. This is a slightly sweeter bourbon with round, smooth flavors and a light hint of smoke. It makes for the perfect snow day companion, snuggled under the covers, and sitting in front of a wood burning stove.
Cacao Maple Vodka (year-Round) Available $32/$54
Organic wheat vodka steeped with 100% organic Peruvian cacao nibs and sweetened with a touch of local organic maple syrup. Despite tasting like a decadent chocolate truffle, this vodka is still 80 proof. Drink with a dollop of ice cream or a drop of grenadine. Mix with fresh berries or espresso. Simple fixings make for an extravagant after dinner drink.
Raspberry & Black pepper Liqueur (Summer) AVAILABLE $36
A complex and deep red aperitif made with raspberries from Montgomery Place Orchards in Red Hook, NY and Samascott Orchard in Kinderhook, NY. Nostalgic sips evoke memories of sticky dark red fingers, filled cheeks, and views of plush sunny pastures. Freshly cracked black pepper excites mature taste buds and elevates the raspberry flavor. Simply enjoy with ice and bubbles or stir into a crisp, dry NY cider to welcome fall.
MULLED PEACH WHISKEY (FALL) AVAILABLE $37/$63
A true whiskey with hints of real Hudson Valley peaches from Mead Orchard in Tivoli NY, raw Ray Tousey honey, and autumnal spices. Perfect for cold weather parties- served warm as a Hot Toddy or with fresh apple cider.
FINOCCHIETTO amaro (FALL) AVAILABLE $36
Inspired by traditional Italian fennel amaro from the Amalfi Coast. Roman Gladiators drank Finocchietto because they believed that it was a source of strength. Our amaro is made with wild bronze fennel grown in Philmont, NY at Common Hands Farm. Makes for a great digestivo served with a sliver of lemon peel. It also pairs well with blood orange or pink grapefruit in cocktails.
BLACK WALNUT LIQUEUR (Winter) AVAILABLE $36
Black Walnuts are foraged to make a decadent liqueur with a nutty flavor like no other. The black walnuts are fruity, floral, and astringent. Drink on the rocks, spike Holiday nog, and replace other nut liqueurs (such as Frangelico) in any cocktail recipes.
bUDDHA'S hAND cITRON vODKA (WINTER) AVAILABLE $32/54
What is a Buddha’s Hand? It’s a fruit that looks like a lemon dressed up as a squid for Halloween. A citron with no pulp.

It’s citrus pop is floral and slightly bitter making it perfect for creating balanced cocktails.

Black Currant Liqueur (Winter) AVAILABLE $36
The vodka for this liqueur is made with 100% NY apples and then it is infused with locally grown Black Currants to create a tart, complex, and otherworldly liqueur. Black currants contain the darkest pigmentation found in nature. At the distillery we’ve nicknamed this potent liqueur the “flavor bomb!” All you need is a splash to add intense flavor and a POP of color. Although, rarely seen in American cuisine, currants are prominent in British treats. Such as grandpa Jack’s favorite, Eccles Cakes!
