Gooseberry syrup

A perfect refreshment for children or those who prefer to avoid alcohol, it goes perfectly with the traditional flavours of Christmas dinner.

You could also try it with very fresh sparkling water and garnish with a slice of lemon or mint leaves. It's light, aromatic and goes perfectly with the flavours of supper.

Gooseberry is the classic Portuguese soft drink, perfect for our mild climate, with its fruity and sweet flavour, subtly cut by the acidic aftertaste of the fruit. According to the old recipe and with real fruit, this is the authentic gooseberry.

Made from natural redcurrant juice, no colourings or preservativess, it allows you to prepare 7 litres of a very tasty soft drink, more or less sweet depending on your preference.

In a glass or jug, add 1 part syrup and 8 parts water, a few ice cubes and some mint leaves or lemon slices for garnish.

In addition to their more conventional use in soft drinks, these syrups are equally delicious as a syrup for ice cream or yoghurt, crepes or pancakes. It's an ingredient to explore when making cocktails or with sparkling water and a slice of lemon. In the kitchen, it can enrich cakes, biscuits or even savoury dishes such as white meat or baked fish.
