Tips & Tricks
Mixing a Cinnamon Orange Twist Mocktail is a lot of fun! Here are some of my tips to make it extra special. 🍊✨
I always use fresh orange juice for the best flavor. It makes a big difference compared to the bottled stuff. Fresh really is the way to go!
For the cinnamon flavor, I like to use a cinnamon stick instead of ground cinnamon. It gives a smooth, mellow taste. Just let it sit in the drink for a few minutes.
Want it a bit bubbly? Add a splash of club soda or tonic water right before serving. It gives a nice fizz without overpowering the other flavors.
A fun trick I use is freezing some orange slices and using them as ice cubes. Not only do they look cool, but they keep the drink cold without watering it down.
I like garnishing with a twist of orange peel. It’s simple to make: just use a peeler and a steady hand. It smells amazing and adds a fancy touch to the glass. 🍹
Feel free to add a dash of vanilla extract for a little sweetness. Just a small amount will do. It brings everything together nicely.
