Bring a fruity flavour freshness & a nice colour to your signature drinks. Monin developed Blood Orange syrup to fulfil demand from the Japanese market for an acidic orange flavour. A type of orange so called because of the intense crimson colour of its flesh, Blood Orange has a unique flavour profile with a distinctly raspberry like taste in addition to the usual citrus notes. The Tarocco blood orange is now the main orange grown in Italy & Sicily, while there are two other varieties which come from Spain (Sanguinello) & the USA (Moro). Many Italian & Sicilian recipes incorporate this sweet, seedless variety & it is often used in salads, vinaigrette dressing, baking & marmalade. It is also used in green tea. Add the juicy, raspberry citrus fruit taste & attractive ruby red of Monin Blood Orange to your cocktails, sodas & teas & stand out from the crowd!
