There is definitely a color and consistency difference between it and my homemade batch (English is thicker and darker) but the taste is very similar. So far I've only tried the English in a Special Reserve Daiquiri and I believe it was a better cocktail than the one I made last week with my own fassionola. As a quick refresher, since it had been recommended to combine equal parts Fee Bros grenadine and Smuckers raspberry syrup to make fassionola and I couldn't find either of those locally, I made my own grenadine and raspberry syrup from scratch. While it's cheaper and more natural, I'm not sure it's worth all the effort, especially given the short shelf life. At any rate I might as well continue experimenting with the two. Jet Pilot on deck.
