Cara Cara oranges aren't your standard navel orange. They're sweeter, juicier, less acidic, with a soft pink interior. We use Cara Cara puree as the base of this syrup, so the flavor is rounder, riper, and noticeably more interesting than what you'd get from standard orange juice or concentrate.

Stir half an ounce into bourbon for an instant orange old fashioned. Splash it into Prosecco for a brunch mimosa with real orange depth. Mix it with vanilla syrup and cream for a Creamsicle that actually tastes like the popsicle. Add it to cold brew with a splash of tonic for a coffee-shop-grade pick-me-up. Or mix with sparkling water for an orange soda that doesn't taste like Crush.

Tasting Notes: ripe Cara Cara orange, balanced citrus brightness, soft sweetness, clean finish

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long does the syrup last after opening?
A: Our syrups are shelf-stable for 24 months unopened. Once opened, refrigerate and enjoy within 6 months.

Q: What's a Cara Cara orange, and how is it different from a regular navel orange?
A: Cara Cara oranges are a type of pink-fleshed navel orange, originally discovered in Venezuela in the 1970s as a natural mutation. They taste sweeter and less acidic than standard navels, with a softer, more rounded flavor profile. Visually, the flesh is salmon-pink instead of bright orange. We use Cara Cara puree as the base of this syrup specifically because that softer, juicier flavor profile makes for a more interesting cocktail and soda than a standard orange.

Q: Can I use Orange syrup as a substitute for orange juice?
A: For sweetened drinks (cocktails, sodas, mimosas), yes — and it concentrates the orange flavor into a smaller pour, which means less dilution and a cleaner cocktail. A 1 oz pour of syrup roughly equals 4-6 oz of fresh-squeezed orange juice in terms of flavor impact. For breakfast applications where you want straight OJ, fresh juice still wins. For mixing into anything else, the syrup is more efficient and shelf-stable longer.
