Aronia Syrup
✨ From the Orchard
We call this Aronia Syrup Midnight Elixir—because one taste, and it’ll cast a spell. At Dee’s Nutz and Berries in Brodhead, WI, we’ve learned that aronia berries, with their deep purple hue and signature tartness, don’t just belong in jams and smoothies—they deserve a starring role in your syrups, sauces, and signature drinks. This syrup is luxurious, lightly spiced, and deeply flavored—designed to impress, whether you’re pouring it over cheesecake or crafting a farm-to-glass cocktail.
The texture is silky, the color is striking, and the flavor? It’s layered with tang, berry richness, and just a kiss of spice. With our farm opening in 2028, we’re setting the bar high for berry-based products—and this Midnight Elixir is our crown jewel.
