William Grant & Sons, the creator of Hendrick’s gin, has unveiled Solerno, a premium Italian blood orange liqueur, in the UK.
The liqueur is made from small batches of hand-picked blood oranges, whose skins are blended with distillates of oranges, lemons and a neutral spirit base, before adding natural sugar to sweeten it.
William Grant & Sons master distiller Lesley Gracie was quoted by Harpers as saying that blood oranges are one of the nature's most intense fruits.
"To ensure we capture the unique taste, we only hand-pick the oranges at the height of the season," Gracie added.
"The result is an exceptional liqueur with a refreshingly rich taste."
The 40% ABV Solerno offers bittersweet flavor and is used for in the preparation of cocktails.
Solerno can be purchased through Mangrove in the UK at recommended retail price of £31.99 per 750ml bottle.
