Why Choose Reàl 500ml vs. Standard Flavoring Syrups?
Authentic 40% Puree Content
While standard syrups are primarily water and sugar, Reàl contains over 40% real Prickly Pear puree. This adds an authentic, pulpy bittersweet fruit depth and texture that thin flavoring agents cannot replicate, justifying premium menu pricing.
Patented "Volcano" Squeeze Bottle
Ditch messy glass bottles and sticking pumps. The Reàl squeeze bottle features a silicone valve cap that stays clean, allows for precise drip-free portioning, and fits perfectly in a bar speed rail for maximum operational efficiency.
Superior Color Stability
Achieve a high-impact neon magenta glow naturally. Unlike thin syrups that wash out when mixed, Reàl’s high fruit density ensures the vibrant pink hue remains bold and opaque even when diluted with heavy ice or soda.
High Viscosity Mixology Texture
Because it is a puree-infused syrup, it offers much higher viscosity than standard liquids. It holds its flavor better in frozen blended drinks and Margaritas, preventing the drink from separating or tasting watered down during service.
Multi-Department Inventory ROI
This product isn't just for the bar. Its thick consistency allows it to double as a gourmet dessert drizzle for cheesecakes, artisanal waffles, or panna cotta. One bottle serves both your mixologist and your pastry chef, maximizing inventory value.

Frequently Asked Questions — Buying Reàl in Canada
Where can I buy Reàl Prickly Pear Puree in Canada?
You can purchase individual 500ml bottles or full cases at ChickenPieces.com. We ship directly from our Calgary warehouse to bars, restaurants, and homes across Canada with no membership fees required.
What does prickly pear syrup taste like?
It has a unique "tutti-frutti" bittersweet profile, often compared to a refreshing blend of sun-ripened watermelon and sweet strawberry with a subtle earthy, floral finish characteristic of the cactus fruit.
Does this syrup contain real fruit or just flavoring?
Yes. Reàl Infused Exotics are distinguished by their high fruit content. This specific syrup is made with 40.3% real Prickly Pear puree, providing authentic flavor and texture that cheaper syrups lack.
Do I need to refrigerate it after opening?
No, Reàl syrups are shelf-stable. They are designed to sit on your back bar for up to 90 days after opening at room temperature. Refrigeration is optional but can maintain peak fruit aromatics for longer.
How many drinks can I make with one 500ml bottle?
Most cocktail recipes call for 0.5 oz to 1 oz. A 500ml bottle yields approximately 17 to 33 cocktails depending on the pour size of your specific signature recipe.
Is the vibrant pink color natural?
The neon magenta hue comes from the natural pigments of the Mexican prickly pear fruit. Reàl does not rely on synthetic FD&C dyes, ensuring a "clean label" visual for your health-conscious guests.
Can I use this for non-alcoholic drinks?
Absolutely. It is a favorite for high-end "Virgin" Margaritas, sparkling Italian sodas, and flavored iced teas, making mocktails feel just as complex and sophisticated as alcoholic beverages.
Can I use this as a dessert drizzle?
Yes. Because of its high puree content, the viscosity is thicker than standard syrups. It holds its shape well as a decorative drizzle on cheesecakes, waffles, or artisanal gelato.
Is Reàl Prickly Pear vegan and gluten-free?
Yes, this product is 100% vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free, making it a safe and versatile choice for Canadian venues catering to diverse dietary requirements.
Why buy from ChickenPieces.com instead of US suppliers?
