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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I use Orange syrup as a substitute for orange juice?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Portland Syrups","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46223599534251,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2326\/9307\/files\/Orange_12oz.png?v=1771537600","url":"https:\/\/beveragemixers.com\/products\/orange-syrup","provider":"Portland Syrups","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
