Orange

Citrus
Year-RoundUsed in ~187 drinks

The sweetest of the primary citrus flavors, bringing a round, juicy brightness that bridges acid and sugar in cocktails. Orange appears in more forms than any other citrus — fresh juice, expressed peel oil, marmalade, curacao liqueurs, and candied garnishes — each delivering a different facet of its warm, sunny character. Its versatility makes it equally at home in a brunch Mimosa and a stirred Old Fashioned.

Aroma

Warm, sweet, and inviting with a rich oil complexity from the peel — juicy and fresh when squeezed, bittersweet and perfumed when expressed, marmalade-like when candied.
