Tuaca
Sparkling water with orange essence
Orange Blossom Water
Orange blossoms
All ingredients should be chilled. Add ¼ cup Tuaca, ¼ cup orange sparkling water and 2 tablespoons orange blossom water. Ice optional. Garnish with 1 or 2 select orange blossoms. WARNING: use pesticide free blossoms only.
You can purchase bottled Orange Blossom Water as I did or you can prepare it yourself. A simple recipe requires that you collect and wash fresh and pesticide free blossoms. Using a mortar and pestle, crush the blossoms, place them in a jar and cover with distilled water. Let the jar stand in full sun for up to a month then strain water into smaller sterilized jars and store in refrigerator.
