Drink of the Day: Orcabessa
If you are familiar with the Hairy Navel cocktail, this is going to taste somewhat familiar. With the drink mentioned, much more orange juice is used. Plus, there is no sour mix involved. With the Drink of the Day that I am introducing today, only a splash of sour and oj is used, only cutting the edge off of the liquor, but still using the finer points of it to enhance the flavor of the drink itself. The mixes are only used to smooth out the edges and nothing more. They really help in bringing the flavors of the vodka and peach schnapps together giving you a great summertime sipper.
Man, this summer is going way too fast. Here’ s cocktail to slow it down a little. Sit back and enjoy!
1 oz. Vodka
1 oz. Peach Schnapps
1/2 oz. Sour Mix
1/2 oz. Orange Juice
Method: In mixing glass with ice, pour in the ingredients to measure. Cap with a tin and shake enough to blend the ingredients. Strain into an old fashioned glass. Garnish with an orange half-wheel on the rim of the glass.
