Old St. Croix Orange Grove (70cl, 40%)

Old St. Croix Orange Grove is an orange liqueur whose name recalls the historic Orange Grove area on St. Croix, where orange groves stood beside sugar cane fields. It uses oranges from the Caribbean and Central America and is aged in oak casks. The liqueur is silky and round, with a light acidity and warm spice notes balancing the sweetness. It is bottled at 40% ABV and can be enjoyed neat or over ice, or used in cocktails such as Margarita, Cosmopolitan or Mai Tai. On the nose there is dried orange and apricot, followed by a light, fresh note of green mint. The palate recalls spicy fruit sweets, with concentrated orange and mandarin, nuances of lightly roasted brown sugar and a hint of toasted wood. The finish shows green mint with a hint of dried orange, rounded by tropical fruit notes.
