Pink syrup is an exquisite and aromatic ingredient of European cuisine that adds a delicate fruity-vanilla note to desserts, cocktails, and even morning tea. Its origin is closely linked to the tradition of using wine in cooking, transforming familiar ingredients into elegant gastronomic creations. The syrup is based on pink dry wine, which gains richness when reduced, while lemon zest and vanilla pod infuse it with subtle citrus and spicy notes. This syrup is perfect for soaking biscuits, creating refined sauces, and caramelizing fruits. Its taste is a balance of sweetness and light acidity with deep floral and fruity nuances.
