This is a good drink. I was a bit dubious about orange and scotch- but it’s very good and refreshing. A real sunny afternoon drink.

Orange juice and scotch is actually a surprisingly good combo if paired correctly. Another recipe that does it well in my opinion is the Space Monkey:
1.5 oz scotch
1 oz coconut water
.5 oz orange juice
.5 oz lime juice
.5 oz simple syrup
2 dashes angostura bitters
The original recipe doesn't call for lime but I like to add it in mine to keep it from getting too sweet. Another refreshing, afternoon long sour to enjoy in hotter months.
