Citrus Rose Sidecar

November 17, 2017 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 3 Comments

I cannot even believe we are less than a week away from Thanksgiving. I’m not even close to being ready. Things are hectic, as they usually are this time of season but somehow everything always comes together, right?

Knowing that, I’m taking a beat this year to slow down. I’m treating myself and a few friends to this Citrus Rose Sidecar. It’s a sidecar with a twist and bit of elegance. To start, grab some Tropicana® Tangerine Lemonade for the base – it’s unique blend of tangy and sweet citrus juice makes it a great base for this cocktail. The other reason I reach for Tropicana first is because they leave out all the artificial flavors and artificial sweeteners which means a cleaner tasting cocktail and it also allows me to skip the orange liqueur and the simple syrup.

To infuse the cocktail with a floral hint, I added some rose liqueur. You don’t need much just a bit to give this drink some dimension. Admittedly, it’s very feminine, but so delicate and beautifully flavored. To finish the ensemble, I gave the glasses a half rim of sugar and finely crushed edible roses.

It doesn’t take much to make a good cocktail, nor do you need any bartending tricks or know-how to pull off this one. And that is exactly what I need this time of year—easy elegance, because I want to enjoy the holiday gatherings and festivities.

    Well, dang girl, this sounds amazing! True confession time, I’ve never tired rose liqueur before (that I know of) but it sounds amazing. I’m hosting a boozy brunch for a friend who’s coming back to town to visit friends. I bet she would LOVE this recipe!!

Need an easy recipe that helps prevent food waste, Need an easy recipe that helps prevent food waste, and saves you time and money? What about a chance to win a $500 Walmart giftcard? I've got you covered then. 

This Kale and Sausage Strata is the kind of dish that uses up all those bits and pieces in the refrigerator. This means dig through the crispier and let’s make the most of what’s in there. For what you see here, I threw in two handfuls of kale, 2 cups sausage, some mushrooms and cheese. All things that came together for one cohesive dish. To boost the flavor, I used Morton® Coarse Kosher Salt because its coarse flakes makes it easy to pinch and allows me full control when seasoning a dish.
 
Yay, to doing more with Morton. 

Now I have a challenge for you. Join me and let's #erasefoodwaste. While you are at it, you can also enter @mortonsalt sweepstakes and win a $500 Walmart gift card or other Morton goodies!
