Cocktails with Solerno Liqueur:

At the risk of sounding like an alcoholic, it’s rather fun to be sent a bottle of something new to try and to have a go at making up some new drinks.  So one dull Saturday evening we opened the very pretty bottle of Solerno and started to experiment.  I really liked the punt of the bottle being cast into the shape of the blood orange that it’s made from.

We started by tasting it on its own, to get a feel for what it might mix well with.  If you like Cointreau, then you will like this, although the blood orange does give it a much more distinctive taste.  Our first drink wasn’t overly adventurous; a simple Solerno Royale.   This was refreshing and light and slipped down rather easily.  What is apparent from the photo is that the liqueur is pretty clear, it’s not the orange colour that I was expecting from the bottle.

We then decided that a martini was the way to go, and created our own St Clements with lemon vodka and Solerno.  This was rather lethal and utterly delicious: I’m rather proud of this creation.

    I wonder how a shot of Solerno would taste in a Blue Moon beer cocktail?

    It’s really rather lovely. I wish that they had been in season so that I could have used a twist of blood orange.
