Crystallized Ginger Orange Juice Cocktail

Crystallized Ginger Orange Juice Cocktail is a spicy sweet concoction that will have you breathing a sigh of comfort.  Fruity and refreshing.

You know what I like about cocktails, well, besides that they taste so good? The glassware, ice buckets, swizzle sticks, measurers, muddlers and ALL of the paraphernalia.

There are so many cool and kitschy items that it is hard to resist.  I have a retro collection of goodies from the 50’s and everything I see in the stores today are equally desirable.  So I just keep collecting.

That should be my personal hashtag #justkeepcollecting.

Now is the time to stir up this tasty concoction and relax.
