Old St. Croix Elixir Orange Grove Spirit Drink orange liqueur 70 cl 40%

Under the historic Old St. Croix name there is also a sweeter, fruitier branch of the range, where the rum heritage of the Danish West Indies is spiced with juicy orange.

Expert Description

Old St. Croix Elixir Orange Grove is an Orange Liqueur based on rum, bottled at 40%.

The range carries the name Old St. Croix, the trademark pharmacist A.H. Riise used to market Danish West Indian rum 150 years ago, at a time when St. Croix was a Danish colony. In the Elixir editions, rum is blended with natural fruit flavour, and in the Orange Grove edition it is juicy orange that sets the tone, for a sweeter and more approachable style than the pure rum editions in the range.

The result is a sweet, fresh liqueur, where juicy orange peel meets a soft rum base and a lightly bitter finish.
