A Good Burnt Orange Cocktail?

[Spoosner 86]

Having people over for dinner on Friday before the sooner bashing.  Wife wants to serve an orange cocktail.  Anybody have a recipe for a good one?  Something not loaded with sugar would be best.

Found this:

1 oz UV Orange Vodka
3/4 oz Curacao (NOT BLUE)
2 oz Orange Juice
2 oz lemon lime soda
Orange Slice

Combine all ingredients except the soda in a shaker, shake and strain. Top off with lemon lime soda and garnish with the orange slice.

But if I'm buying UV Orange Vodka, why not just mix it with soda and be done?  Not to mention the sugar adds up in that one.  Not trying to wake up with a hangover Saturday.

Regardless, ou still sucks

Sweet vermouth on the rocks with a twist.  It reminds me of Rome, in the evening when the sun lights the buildings.

skip the orange vodka, you have orange juice and curacao for that flavor.

use regular vodka and sub this for the curacao

I thought the bottle was wearing an orange cape.

Make whatever clear drink you want and add food coloring?

Tell her you thought she meant burnt orange color, not orange flavor, and go with the classic

In keeping with the Italian theme, you can go with Venice's favorite drink, the Aperol spritz. Delicious, easy to make, sneakily alcoholic (especially if you sneak a bit of vodka in there);

https://www.liquor.com/recipes/aperol-spritz/

4 ¹⁄₂ oz Brut prosecco

2 ¹⁄₂ oz Aperol

1 Lime wheel

1 oz Club soda

Gummy bear shot

Malibu pineapple 1oz
1/2 vanilla vodka
1/2  melon liquor
Splash sweet n sour
Splash pineapple juice

A negroni is more red than orange. Still delicious tho.

Do none of y'all know the difference between red and orange? Bloody Mary = red. Negroni = red. Screwdriver = orange. Tequila sunrise = orange.

[Armybrat 40942]

I poured some oj from the mimosa bar in it. It looked Burnt Orange at the scene.

[HookEm 2468]

Hmm. OJ in a Bloody Mary. Sounds like an abomination. Yet... I am intrigued.
