Orange Pansy Cocktail
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.
