Drinks & Cocktails with Orange Zest

Orange zest is typically used as a garnish, not only because it looks pretty, but because it contains a bunch och aromatic oils that’ll supercharge your cocktails with a deep orange aroma.

Speaking of drinks, orange zest is one of the most common cocktail garnishes, so make sure to keep it around to make classics like the Old Fashioned, Balalaika and Tom Collins.
