Reàl Blackberry Puree Infused Syrup, 16.9 fl oz

Reàl's blackberry syrup is built on fruit puree rather than flavoring, and you notice the difference the moment it leaves the bottle. It pours thick and dark with a soft, pulpy body that a thin flavoring syrup cannot give you, so it carries weight in a glass instead of just tinting it. The fruit is Oregon-grown Marion blackberries and the sweetening is cane sugar, which puts the flavor closer to cooked-down fruit than to candy.

The squeeze bottle is set up for a working bar, with a wide mouth for refilling and a spout that portions cleanly. It is the fast route to a bramble, a blackberry margarita or a whiskey sour, and the same half ounce does as much work in a lemonade, an iced tea, an Italian soda or a shaken zero-proof cooler. The drinks stand up without the alcohol. Cafes reach for it in lattes and cold brew, and kitchens fold it into whipped cream or drizzle it over cheesecake, pancakes and ice cream.
