Orchard Grove Orange Aperitif Wine from Provence, France

Looking for something different and interesting for your restaurant or home bar? Orchard Grove Orange Aperitif Wine from Provence, France is perfect to serve chilled as an aperitif wine, to serve on the rocks, or use it in cocktail and culinary recipes. Luxury Experience had fun creating two tasty cocktails and a dessert recipe with this French charmer that is imported to the United States by Crillon Importers, LTD. Santé!

Orchard Grove Orange Aperitif Wine Information

Technical Notes: “The orange infusions are made from orange rinds, Côte d’Azur type “green ribbons,” and sweet orange rinds macerated in a water and alcohol mixture. After assembly of the various ingredients, Orchard Grove Orange is “aged” in a barrel for 6 weeks to give it time to round off. Then, it is filtered, inspected, tasted, and bottled.” 

In addition to Orchard Grove Orange Aperitif Wine, their delectable line of products includes Orchard Grove Peach Aperitif Wine, Orchard Grove Walnut Aperitif Wine, and Orchard Grove Vermouth Original.

Bottle Notes: Serve chilled, on the rocks with a slice of orange or with a splash of seltzer, or in cocktails.

Tasting Notes: The color is a pretty salmon, with aromatic orange – bitter orange, mandarin, and honey notes on the nose. On the palate there is an explosion of flavors – bitter orange, hint of candied orange, honeysuckle, and slightly sweet notes that make for a dramatic and delicious finish.

Luxury Experience was “In The Kitchen and Behind The Bar®” crafting creative cocktails and a culinary recipe with Orchard Grove Orange Aperitif Wine to show its versatility and to tempt your palate into creating your own special recipes.

Luxury Experience – Perseverance is our playful reference to the fresh persimmon used in the cocktail, and also celebrates Litchfield Distillery’s tagline, “The Spirit of Hard Work.” For this cocktail, we mixed Litchfield Distillery 6-Year Double Barreled Bourbon Whiskey with Orchard Grove Orange Aperitif Wine from France (15% alcohol), orange juice, and muddled diced persimmon with sugar, and garnished the cocktail with a slice of persimmon and an Amarena cherry garnish.

The Culinary Recipe 

Luxury Experience – Orange Rice Pudding with Orange Gelee is a decadent, yet easy to make and easy to love dessert. We simmered long grain rice with heavy cream, sugar, egg yolk, cornstarch, and Orchard Grove Orange Aperitif Wine, then topped it with a delicious gelee by combining storebought James Keiller & Son Dundee Orange Marmalade and Orchard Grove Orange Aperitif Wine. Bon Appetit!

Serves: 4

Rice Pudding Ingredients:

Method: Add heavy cream to a large saucepan and bring it to a boil. Add the rice and when the cream comes to a boil again, lower the heat to a simmer and cook for approximately 25 minutes. (Rice should be tender.)

Add the sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon of Orchard Grove Orange Aperitif Wine to the rice mixture and simmer for 10 minutes.

Mix the egg yolk with cornstarch and 1 ounce of chilled Orchard Grove Orange Aperitif Wine. Add to the rice mixture and stir to combine. Cook until the mixture starts to thicken, approximately 5 minutes. Let the rice pudding cool on a rack on the counter. Then spoon into stemmed wine glasses or pretty bowls and refrigerate.

Orange Gelee Ingredients:

Method: Add the marmalade and Orchard Grove Orange Aperitif Wine to a small saucepan, heat over medium heat until the marmalade has melted. Spoon over the top of each of the puddings. Chill until ready to serve.

Whether you opt to sip Orchard Grove Orange Aperitif Wine as a pure aperitif, serve it chilled or on the rocks, with a splash of seltzer, add it to champagne, or use it in culinary or cocktail recipes, the inspirations are endless.

Until next time, Santé and Bon Appetit!
