Orange on Thyme: Mocktail for the bright days

This orange focused mocktail is a fun drink. I mean it has glitter in it! It's also really refreshing. What I like about working with seltzer is that you get a really refreshing and easy drink. It already has a little flavor that you are simply adding to. This one is just like that. Plus it uses my favorite orange! Cara Cara Oranges are super juicy and super bright. Perfect for your mocktails and cocktails.

Orange on Thyme

Mocktail

Ingredients

2 oz Orange Juice (one half of an orange)

3 thyme sprigs (muddled)

1 oz Simple Syrup

4 dashes of edible gold glitter

Top with Lime Seltzer/sparkling water with lime (about three or four ounces)

Garnish: Lime Wedge and Thyme sprig

Recipe

In a cocktail shaker, muddle thyme with simple syrup. Add ice then squeeze one half of a cara cara orange. Dash in the edible gold glitter. Close and shake until cold (about ten seconds). Double strain (watch out for that thyme) into a highball glass with ice. Top with lime seltzer. Garnish with a lime wedge and thyme sprig.

Stir and sip! This drink is a good way to mix orange and lime. You want to continue stirring as you drink so they keep mixing.
