This Orange Simple Syrup is not only a versatile addition to your kitchen, it also promises quality. Crafted with carefully selected oranges, without artificial flavors or preservatives, it’s your passport to an authentic orange flavor.

Delicious Orange Flavor

You should definitely try Orange Simple Syrup in your cocktails and mocktails. Make sure to check out my recipe for the classic South Texas Paloma Cocktail which contains all the citrus flavors and tequila. You will notice Ginger Syrup and Strawberry Syrup on my blog as well which also make amazing cocktails and desserts.

You can also make a deliciously simple cocktail by combining 1 oz (28ml) of Orange Simple Syrup with a serving of prosecco or cava sparkling wine. The citrus flavor is incredibly refresshing when combined with bubbles. Make sure it is well chilled for maximum refreshment!

Bring Stale Cake Back to Life

Of course you can use this versatile syrup on pancakes, waffles or crepes. But I really love cakes soaked in this syrup. Do you have leftover stale pound cake? Fruit flavored syrups to the rescue! Soak your cake in a little syrup, add fresh fruit and a little whipped cream. It’s a new dessert!

You can also mix this syrup with brandy, rum or liqueuer when soaking your cakes. Have you ever had a Rum Baba cake? It’s a dense cake soaked in a rummy syrup. If you have this syrup on hand, you are more than halfway to completing a similar dessert!
