Winter doesn’t bring many fresh produce options, but technically, winter-time is citrus season so that’s a plus. Raise your hand if you’re on team fresh OJ everyday. Is it wrong to turn your fresh orange juice into citrus cocktails daily, because that’s my life right now, oops. If you’re anything like me, keep reading for more citrus filled cocktail inspo!
Side note, I need this set in my life! Anyways, the great thing is, citrus is alway refreshing and brightening, making it seem spring-like. I’m eating an orange a day and trying to add more oranges to my recipes since we can all use a little brightness in our lives (check out my citrus salad recipe.)
Last night, I indulged in a gin and tonic with a squeeze of blood orange juice, and loved the combination of flavors. Here, I rounded up 15 citrus cocktail recipes that are refreshing and will push you into spring mode, if you aren’t already there! If you’re looking for ideas on what alcohol to mix with orange juice, try any of these citrus alcoholic drinks and you’ll be amazed! Also, since fresh citrus is so vibrant, the citrus drinks look beautiful too. Oh, I just ordered THIS citrus juicer so I can start drinking freshly squeezed juice daily!
