Refreshing and citrusy, this cocktail is a perfect blend of tart and sweet. The pansy simple syrup adds an herby sweetness that tames the zing of the fresh orange juice & yuzu juice for a balanced flavor.

Don’t have any oranges around? You can substitute pulp-free bottled orange juice.

Ingredients:   Makes 1 Drink
2 oz Vodka
1 oz Cointreau
1/2 oz Yuzu Juice
1/4 oz Pansy Simple Syrup
2 1/4 oz Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice (could substitute bottled)
Edible Pansy and/or orange slice to garnish

Directions:
1. If you’re using fresh oranges, cut an orange in half and cut 1 orange slice to reserve as a garnish.

2. Squeeze juice from remaining orange halves into a measuring cup/jigger until you get 2 1/4 ounces worth of juice.

3. Fill a mixing glass with ice and pour orange juice into the glass.

4. Add vodka, cointreau, yuzu juice and pansy simple syrup and shake with a cocktail shaker.

5. Strain into a martini glass.

6. Garnish with an orange slice and/or an edible pansy.
