Ingredients

  • 2 oz Solerno Blood Orange Liqueur – because why settle for regular when you can have blood orange?

  • 1 oz fresh lime juice – please, for the love of cocktails, squeeze it fresh.
  • 0.5 oz agave syrup – this is your sweet escape.
  • Ice – enough to chill but not drown the party.
  • Salt for rimming – because every margarita needs a little edge.
  • Blood orange slice for garnish – it’s all about that Instagram-worthy finish.

Instructions

  1. Rim your glass with salt by rubbing a lime wedge around the edge and dipping it into a plate of salt. Pro tip: Do this before you start mixing to avoid any last-minute salt disasters.
  2. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. This is where the magic begins.
  3. Add the Solerno Blood Orange Liqueur, tequila, fresh lime juice, and agave syrup to the shaker. Shake it like you mean it for about 15 seconds, or until your hands feel the chill.
  4. Strain the mixture into your prepared glass filled with fresh ice. Watch as the vibrant orange hue promises a good time.

Spiced Solerno Hot Toddy

Spiced Solerno Hot Toddy

Oh, the Spiced Solerno Hot Toddy is like a warm hug on a chilly evening, but with a citrusy kick that’ll make your taste buds dance. It’s the perfect blend of cozy and zesty, guaranteed to spice up your night without the need for a fireplace or a significant other.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water (because hydration is key, even in cocktails)
  • 1 tbsp honey (local if you can, it’s like liquid gold)
  • 1 oz Solerno blood orange liqueur (the star of the show, don’t skimp)
  • 1 oz bourbon (go for something smooth, you’re not making a frat party punch)
  • 1 cinnamon stick (for stirring and sniffing, because aroma is half the experience)
  • 1 slice of orange (preferably blood orange, for that Instagram-worthy garnish)
  • A pinch of ground cloves (just a pinch, unless you’re into that whole ‘mouth on fire’ thing)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, bring the water to a gentle boil over medium heat. This isn’t a race; slow and steady wins the flavor.
  2. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the honey until it’s fully dissolved. Tip: If your honey is stubborn, a little patience (and stirring) goes a long way.
  3. Add the Solerno and bourbon to the pan, giving it a quick stir to combine. Tip: This is where the magic happens, so take a moment to inhale the citrusy bourbon goodness.
  4. Throw in the cinnamon stick and that pinch of ground cloves. Let the mixture simmer for about 2 minutes to infuse the flavors. Tip: Don’t let it boil, or you’ll cook off the alcohol, and what’s the point then?
  5. Pour the toddy into your favorite mug, garnish with the orange slice, and serve immediately. How easy was that?

Heavenly doesn’t even begin to describe this toddy. The warmth of the bourbon, the zing of the Solerno, and the spice of the cinnamon and cloves create a symphony of flavors that’ll have you forgetting all about the cold outside. Serve it with a side of your favorite book or a good friend for maximum enjoyment.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups water (filtered, because your taste buds deserve the best)
  • 1/2 cup dried hibiscus flowers (the more, the merrier—and the pinker!)
  • 1/4 cup Solerno blood orange liqueur (this is the secret handshake to flavor town)
  • 1 tbsp honey (local if you can, bees work hard for it)
  • Ice cubes (as many as your heart desires)
  • Orange slices for garnish (because we eat with our eyes first)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of filtered water to a rolling boil over high heat. This is your water’s moment to shine.
  2. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1/2 cup dried hibiscus flowers. Let them steep for 10 minutes—no peeking! This is their spa time.
  3. Strain the hibiscus tea into a pitcher, pressing on the flowers to get every last drop of that ruby-red goodness. Discard the flowers (or compost them if you’re feeling eco-chic).
  4. While the tea is still warm, stir in 1 tbsp honey until it dissolves completely. Pro tip: Warm liquid absorbs sweeteners better, so patience is a virtue here.
  5. Let the tea cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Impatience leads to lukewarm regrets.
  6. Once chilled, stir in 1/4 cup Solerno blood orange liqueur. This is where the magic happens—transformative, like a cocktail caterpillar into a butterfly.
  7. Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the cooler over, and garnish with orange slices. Presentation is key; make it Insta-worthy.

Vibrant and refreshing, this cooler dances on the palate with a sweet-tart harmony. Serve it at your next backyard bash or enjoy solo—because self-care is also a party.
