Looking for a fun twist on a classic cocktail? Well you don’t need to look any further than this delicious Orange Drop Martini. It is the perfect cocktail on hot summer nights, or cold winter nights when looking for a boost of Vitamin C. Okay not really, but look how pretty it is!

What’s in an Orange Drop Martini?

  • Orangecello – the Italian cousin to Limoncello
  • Orange liqueur – I used Cointreau
  • fresh squeezed orange juice
  • super-fine sugar to rim the glass
  • orange wheels to garnish

My son’s girlfriend Kristin came out to visit last week and we had an hour to kill…so we went to Total Wine! We wandered around and loaded the cart with all kinds of crazy liqueurs and wine’s with ridiculous names/ labels. I had heard of Orangecello , but it never made it’s way into my liquor cabinet….until now. Most of my cabinet got left behind in Iowa when I moved, so I needed to replenish.

My first thought was Orangecello Cake, wouldn’t that be yummy? But I wasn’t in the mood to bake a cake yesterday. I did however have all of the ingredients to create an Orange Drop Martini…or two….for the photos of course.

I just reworked my Lemon Drop Martinis recipe and it worked out beautifully!!

How to make Orange Drop Martinis:

Rub orange juice around the rim of two martini glasses.

Dip glasses in super fine sugar, and garnish with orange slices. Set aside…..

The Orange Drop Martini is very different from my original Lemon Drop Martini, obviously lemons and oranges taste different, but the unique taste is definitely worth giving a try.

Enjoy!!
