Notes

  • Obviously, the main ingredient for this libation is oranges, so I hope you can find lovely citrus options in your area. I always recommend Whole Foods Market because you can be sure to find gorgeous and unique produce there.
  • If you don’t have Mezcal this cocktail is fabulous with tequila blanco too.
