| Description: The fruit can vary from the size of an orange to the size of a grapefruit. It has a thin, smooth, yellow rind. The flesh is yellow-orange in colour, and exceptionally juicy. The flavour is pleasantly sub-acid. Cocktail matures in early winter and the fruits hold well on the tree, puffing when they become very old, but not desiccating. Very unique flavour; you could love it or hate it. About 2/3 or this plus 1/3 Tarocco blood orange juice makes a fantastically flavoured juice drink. Cocktail is actually a hybrid of Siamese Sweet pummelo and Frua mandarin. The cross was made at Riverside, possibly in the 1950s. | ||
