Sun Kiss

Pro tips

• Use fresh orange juice rather than concentrate for brighter, cleaner flavor.
• Chill your glass and ingredients beforehand to reduce the amount of dilution from melting ice.
• Fresh lime wedge as garnish brightens the aroma and adds a citrus pop when squeezed into the drink.

Substitutions

• Orange juice → pineapple juice (tropical shift, less acidic)
• Amaretto → almond liqueur (similar profile, slight intensity variation)

Can I make the Sun Kiss with a different juice?

Yes. Pineapple juice or cranberry juice work well as substitutes for orange juice, though they'll shift the flavor profile slightly.

Should the Sun Kiss be shaken or stirred?

Stir gently in a glass with ice to chill and combine without over-diluting the drink.

What's the best glass to serve this in?

A highball or rocks glass filled with ice works best for serving this cocktail.

Can I batch this cocktail ahead of time?

Yes. Mix amaretto and orange juice in a pitcher and refrigerate; add ice and lime wedge to individual glasses when serving.
