Summer may seem like a faraway dream, but you can enjoy the taste of the season with vitamin c packed citrus that is at its flavorful winter peak. ALSO TRY: Pomegranate thyme bubbly rose You may have heard of the Italian liqueur limoncello, but now it’s time to meet its cousin: orangecello. Citrus grows plentifully in southern Italy, and was the inspiration for these bright and sweet citrus liqueurs, which add the perfect burst of juicy flavor to your cocktails. Orangecello and limoncello are usually made with a base of vodka or brandy, then combined with a simple sugar syrup and fragrant citrus peel. You can buy these “cellos” in the store or make them at home with oranges, lemons, grapefruits or limes. They are a great way to use an abundance of citrus, especially if you live in a citrus-growing state like California, Florida or Arizona. They are pretty simple to make — you just need citrus peels, honey, vodka, sugar, simple syrup, orange juice, a jar, water and thyme. The result is a vibrant and intensely flavored beverage that makes the perfect mixer to brighten up any winter cocktail. Our orangecello and honey martini is made with simple syrup made from thyme-infused honey for an extra sweet and complex flavor. We laced the rim of the glass with grains of real sugar for an accent that is as tasty to drink as it is pretty in presentation. Garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme and you will have a winter cocktail that reminds you that summer is just around the corner!
