William Grant & Sons' Solerno is in the midst of an immersive month-long Sicilian experience to showcase the blood orange liqueur.

The ‘Celebrazione dell’Arancia Rossa’ showcase event has been running at Sydney Italian restaurant, Capriccio Osteria since October 18th and will continue November 18th 2017.

Patrons are offered five specialised cocktail offerings designed to highlight the taste and versatility of Solerno and Redbelly Citrus blood oranges, crafted to complement the seasonal menu created by Head Chef, Nicole Bampton.

Signature cocktails include the Solerno Serata, which is a combination of ruby red grapefruit juice, bitters and soda, and The Sicilian 75, which is a mix of freshly squeezed lemon and blood orange juice topped with Prosecco and Solernoni (a Solerno twist on the Italian classic Negroni).

Solerno Brand Ambassador Evonne Eadie said Capriccio Osteria was chosen because of its quality produce and flavour combinations.

“These attributes mirror the Solerno brand, with the blood oranges being hand-picked in Sicily at their peak of the season and the careful infusion of these with lemons to create the perfectly complex and intense liqueur.”
