Instructions

Garnish

Cut an orange slice for your garnish.
Thread your cocktail pick through the orange slice and maraschino cherry to make your garnish (like a mini orange taco). Set it aside while you make the drink.

Drink

Add all of the liquid ingredients to a cocktail shaker.
Fill the shaker with ice and shake well, about 15-20 times.
Strain the drink over fresh ice in your cocktail glass. Use both a regular strainer and a fine mesh strainer if you want to get out all of the citrus pulp.
Rest your garnish on the rim of the glass and serve.

Notes

This cocktail is definitely on the sweet side! If you find it too sweet, here are a few tasty options. You can omit the simple syrup, or you can add a ½ ounce float of dark rum or whiskey on the top. Or, you can mix in ¼ ounce of Campari to add a little dimension and bitterness that will counteract the sweetness.
