I've been dreaming of being swept away to Tuscany to sip on wines and cocktails. Hopefully some day it will happen, but until then, I can sip on these Tuscan Orange cocktails and imagine being in Italy. The orange color could also work for a Halloween party. Enjoy!
1 shot Ventura Orangecello
1 shot 360 orange vodka
Juice of ½ lemon
1 shot of rosemary simple syrup
Ice
Rimming: 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary, orange zest and 1 teaspoon sugar

Fill a shaker with ice and add Ventura Orangecello, vodka, lemon juice, and rosemary simple syrup. Shake it. Put the rimming ingredients onto a plate. Rub a piece of orange on the rim of a martini glass and dip the mouth of the glass into the rimming ingredients. Strain liquor into the glass and garnish with rosemary sprig.
