After the success of these two products, we are proud to announce the arrival of a 3rd reference in this range.

The Framboise SUR FRUIT combines Valaisan fruit and brandy. The raspberry brings substance and sweetness; the brandy, the intensity of flavors; their meeting: all that the orchard offers of best.

Tasty and fruity, the Framboise SUR FRUIT is the gourmet gollet to conclude a meal or accompany a coffee. It is also an excellent base for a Spritz, with the addition of a sparkling wine!

With the spooky season upon us once again, there's no better way to add some holiday fun to your cocktails than with spirits that are both colourful and delicious. To get you ready, we've put together a list of the best Halloween cocktails to give any event that extra edge. Your guests are sure to be so spooked they'll be screaming for more!

The Green Beast

There’s something about absinthe that just seems to fit seamlessly with Halloween. In fact, it’s so mysterious and romantic that you could even say it has a dangerous edge. Of course, if you drink it properly, there’s nothing scary about it, but it’s still fun to play it up for the holiday.

The Green Beast shines a spotlight on absinthe's gorgeous jade colour. Gather the following ingredients: 30 ml of absinthe, 30 ml of fresh lime juice, 30 ml of sugar syrup, 100 ml of chilled water, and sliced cucumber. Add all the ingredients to a punch bowl in the order above. Add plenty of ice chunks to the mixture, and top with the cucumber slices. Serve it to your guests and enjoy!

Eyeball gin and tonic

Waiter, waiter! There's something in my gin and tonic!

Fill your glass two-thirds full of ice. Add 35 ml of gin, 120 ml of cranberry juice, a few good squeezes of a lime, and 2 tsp of sugar syrup. Stir gently for 20 seconds.

The best part is making two scary eyeballs to go in this dink! To make the ‘eyeball’ garnishes, drain tinned lychees. Use a piping bag or the end of a chopstick to squeeze a blob of jam inside the cavity. Carefully push a blueberry into the centre of the fruit. Now use a toothpick or thin paintbrush to draw little ‘bloodshot’ lines onto the eyeball. Then, freeze the eyeballs until they are ready to be plopped into your unsuspecting guests' drinks!

Jack-O-Lantern

A simple recipe that is perfect for a spooky Halloween party. Featuring a tasty mix of brandy and orange with a little sparkle, this drink includes a garnish that turns your cocktail glass into a pumpkin! Measure out 50 ml of cognac, 15 ml of mandarin liqueur and 30 ml of orange juice. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, shake the cognac, liqueur, and juice. Strain into an old-fashioned glass over fresh ice. Top with 60 ml of ginger ale. Float an orange wheel with a lime twist poked into the top, giving your cocktail an authentic Halloween pumpkin lid.

Obituary

If you can survive this powerful green cocktail, you'll love it. Combine 40 ml of gin, 15 ml of dry vermouth and 10 ml of absinthe in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake thoroughly. Strain into a chilled coupe.

Brain Freeze

In a blender, combine 250 g of strawberries, hulled, 100 g of crushed ice, 50 ml of gin and the juice of half a lime and whizz. If you have one, pour into a skull glass and top with more crushed ice. Garnish with a strawberry and a slice of lime. Your guests will lose their heads over this daiquiri-inspired frozen strawberry and gin slushie!

For spooky touches, you can garnish your Halloween cocktails with jelly snakes, little plastic spiders or even fake teeth. We also have more delicious spirits and syrups in our online shop, all perfect for any Halloween party! Now you have no reason not to have your guests saying "oooooh!" for all the right reasons! Bone appetite!

Whether they're used to flavour or sweeten drinks or for something more creative, syrups will power up your game, adding delicious flavours to everything you drink, cook, bake, or shake. And now we’ve made it even easier with some easy ideas and recipes to use syrups. Ready to get inspired?

Baking

We've all had cakes come out dry and flat, but have you ever considered using a simple syrup to give your cakes that extra boost? This quick fix is one of baking's best-kept secrets, and it's a really handy trick to have up your sleeve when things go wrong in the oven. Syrups are great all-purpose glazes for cakes and fruitcakes, adding moisture and that extra bit of sweetness.

How to do it
Poke a few small holes in the top of the cake with a toothpick. Lightly drizzle the simple syrup over the top of the cake and, if it does not sink into the cake completely, smooth it out with a spoon. Let it sit for a few hours to make sure the syrup has spread  into your cake successfully. Choose between fruity syrups or creams, of which chocolate and noisette are among the most popular, to bring out the flavours in your baking.

Coffees

You don’t need many ingredients to turn a regular coffee into a drink that rivals Starbucks! Coffee, fresh milk and your favourite syrup are all you need to make your drink of choice in your very own home.

How to make a vanilla latte
To make a vanilla latte, you’ll need 1/2 a cup of coffee, 1/2 a cup of milk, 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup, and sugar. Brew coffee and stir in 1 tbsp vanilla syrup. Froth the milk, or heat the milk until it is steaming, and whisk until frothy using a small whisk or fork. Slowly add frothed milk to your coffee. Sweeten to taste.

Pancakes and waffles

Syrups are a must-have for pancake and waffle breakfasts, because few things are sadder than eating plain pancakes and waffles! Whether you're tired of maple syrup, you just don’t like it, or are simply feeling experimental, you'll definitely find syrups are your best ally! Our top 5 picks for pancakes and waffles are chocolate, noisette, amaretto, blueberry and strawberry!

Flavoured Water

Syrups are perfect to add flavour to a drink, while keeping the calorie content low and your drink healthy. Just add one or two spoons of a fruity syrup to your glass of water to transform it into a delicious, healthy alternative!

We have a wide range of delicious syrups in our online shop, which all make the perfect addition to delicious drinks and recipes!  Have a go and experiment with new ways to use syrups.

Grenadine is a non-alcoholic bar syrup characterised by a flavour that is both tart and sweet, and by its deep red colour. The name grenadine originates from the French word grenade, which means pomegranate. In fact, grenadine was originally made using pomegranate juice, sugar, and water. 

Grenadine is any bartender's favourite add-in, as grenadine syrup is a key ingredient in many popular drinks. Check out our top 5 exciting recipes that feature this delicious and brilliant red syrup. Your cocktails will never be the same again!

Chocolate Cherry Bomb

Chocolate makes everything better! Close your eyes when you drink this cocktail, and you'll think it's a chocolate-covered cherry.

In a shot glass, carefully pour 1 cl of grenadine syrup followed by 1 cl of Morand chocolate syrup and 1 cl of cream. Drink in one, as if it were a shot of straight alcohol.

Williamine Sunrise

The Williamine Sunrise has a wonderfully sweet and fruity flavour and it looks gorgeous when you get that “sunrise” effect.

Add 45 ml of Morand Williamine and 150 ml of Orange Juice into a shaker along with ice and give it a good shake. Strain into a glass. Slowly add 30 ml of Morand grenadine syrup. Remember not to stir it so that you let the grenadine sink to the bottom - that's what creates the sunrise effect.

Grenadine Gourmet

Already missing the summer? If the answer is yes, Grenadine Gourmet is definitely the cocktail.

In a blender, add a scoop of milk ice cream, 1 peeled peach, a couple of strawberries, 2 cl of Morand peach syrup and 2 cl of Morand grenadine syrup. Add a scoop of crushed ice and mix. Pour into a martini glass and garnish with fresh strawberries.

Grapefruit Julep

Stir a teaspoon of honey into1 cl of vodka in the base of a shaker until the honey dissolves. Add 4 fresh mint leaves, 30 ml of Morand lime syrup, 50 ml of grenadine syrup and 1 cl of Morand pink grapefruit. Shake it all with ice and strain into a glass filled with crushed ice.

Queen Mary

Stuck with ordinary beer? Give a Queen Mary a try! In North America, a mix of grenadine syrup (one or two teaspoons) and beer is commonly known as the Queen Mary. This mixed drink is typically served in a pint glass. 

We have a wide range of delicious syrups in our online shop, including other flavours of fruit syrups, all perfect for mouthwatering cocktails!

Cocktail hour has become an important weekly ritual for many people during this very different summer. Goodbye festivals, tropical holidays, crowded parties and hello working remotely, Netflix and the quest for the perfect cocktail to make at home. So to help, we’ve created the perfect cocktail solution for you with our different cocktail spirit recipes!

Morand offers a long list of spirits you can use to make delicious cocktails. We’ve put together some of our favourite recipes for you to make them yourself at home. Trust us, you won’t be missing the bars!

Early evening

Just because you haven't had your dinner yet, it doesn’t mean you're stuck with a casual beer. Not when there are so many spirits and tasty cocktail options available to you that both have a low alcohol content and are refreshing. Try a fruity liqueur and create a Williamine Tropicale.

Williamine Tropicale

Fill a shaker with ice cubes, add 3 cl of Morand pear syrup, 2 cl of Morand Williamine Eau-de-Vie, 5 cl of pineapple juice, the juice of half of a lime, and 1 cl of Morand sugar syrup. Shake and serve in a Martini glass.

Aperitif

This before-dinner drink readies your stomach for food and your palate for the delicious flavours it is about to enjoy. For a wonderful start to any evening, try the most iconic Cuban drink with a tasty twist: the Williamine Mojito. Sweet and crisp with a fresh minty flavour. Simple, delicious, and very easy to mix, it's hard to resist.

Williamine Mojito

Add 4 quarters of a lime to a mojito glass, 1 slug of Morand sugar syrup, and 4 cl of Morand Williamine. Mash some mint leaves and mix with crushed ice. Fill ¾ of the glass with the mixture. Top up with Ginger Ale and crushed ice.

After dinner

As the weather turns cooler, it's time to try mixing cognac into your cocktail repertoire! While you may have saved a bottle of cognac for an evening sipper, it is also a fantastic ingredient for cocktails. Sidecar is our favourite cognac cocktail!

Sidecar

Combine 6 cl of Morand orange cognac, 3 cl Morand Triple Sec and 1 cl Morand lemon syrup in a cocktail mixer. Add ice and shake; strain into a chilled Martini glass with or without a sugared rim.

We have a wide range of delicious spirits in our online shop, including refreshing fruity liqueurs and plant liqueurs, all perfect for delicious summery cocktails!
