Dried Orange Slice Cocktails

🍹 Orange-Infused Old Fashioned

Ingredients: 2 oz bourbon, 1 sugar cube, 2-3 dashes Angostura bitters, dried orange slice, orange peel

Method: Muddle sugar cube with bitters, add bourbon and ice, stir. Garnish with a dried orange slice and express orange peel oils over the drink.

2. Create Aromatic Tea Blends

Dried orange slices add natural sweetness and vitamin C to homemade tea blends. Combine them with herbs, spices, and other dried fruits for unique flavor profiles.
