Citrus Sunset Cocktail

Whipping up new cocktail recipes is one of my favourite things. So I was excited to incorporate the new Bonne Maman Intense Orange Fruit Spread. I’m such a fan of all their jams and spreads since they’re 100% natural without any additives or artificial colouring. So many flavour options for a delicious cocktail but I decided to work with the orange spread combining lemon and orange juice along with blackberry lemonade. It turned out amazing!! It’s refreshing and my new favourite cocktail! It’s so simple to make and you can leave out the rum and have these as yummy mocktails. The colour is super pretty when combining the blackberry lemonade and it looks fancy but only has five ingredients in total. I finished it off with orange slices and some red currants. This would also make a delicious drink choice for the upcoming holidays. 

Here’s the recipe using Bonne Maman orange fruit spread. Enjoy!

Citrus Sunset Cocktail:

1 1/4 cup orange juice

2 tsp fresh lemon juice

1 tbsp Bonne Maman Intense Orange Fruit Spread

1 1/2 oz white rum

1/4 cup blackberry lemonade

The addition of the orange spread from Bonne Maman acts as a great sweetener and balances out the overall acidity. This is a fruit spread so it mixes in very well into the drink, be sure it’s very well shaken and strain if required. Jam cocktails are definitely having a moment these days but the concept has actually been around forever since jams and jellies are such a great alternative for a sweetener and pack the perfect punch. With so many available jam and spread flavours, it’s fun trying out new cocktail combinations. Cheers!

 

*The new line is currently available available in select retailers and the orange flavour is expected in stores across Canada later this year.
