ORANGE BLOSSOM
1 ½ measures gin
1 ½ measures freshly squeezed orange juice
As spring
continues to bloom, so does the ORANGE BLOSSOM cocktail. Pretty name, isn’t it?
Pretty good drink too and pretty simple. To make the ORANGE BLOSSOM, put gin
and orange juice in the measurement above into a shaker. Add ice, shake and
strain into a martini glass. Garnish with an orange slice for flair and fun.
I know the ORANGE
BLOSSOM is just a gin and juice, but I really enjoyed its simple taste. It
makes me think that orange juice would make any type of clear alcohol taste
good. In fact, the ORANGE BLOSSOM was very popular at the Speakeasies during the
1920s Prohibition Era, because the orange juice masked the flavor of homemade
bathtub gin. Thank God those days are over! Never take the fact that you can
walk into a liquor store and purchase 20 different flavors of vodka for
granted.
