If you\u2019re one who loves drinks made with orange juice, then we\u2019ve got fantastic news for you. Our orange juice cocktails are real crowd pleasers, and great for enjoying all year round.<\/p>\n

1. Mimosa<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"Orange<\/p>\n

A Mimosa is a perfect beginner’s cocktail as it is impossible to get wrong. Enjoy this refreshing drink at brunch \u2013 it pairs well with all things breakfast, from eggs and avo to fiery shakshuka. The Mimosa recipe is one of the simplest drinks made with orange juice: it\u2019s a 50\/50 mix of just 2 ingredients, bubbly Champagne and fresh, zesty orange juice. Switch up the ratios and add more OJ if you prefer a lower-alcohol drink.<\/p>\n

2. Screwdriver<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"Bright<\/p>\n

With a name like Screwdriver, one imagines something rather intimidating in the orange juice alcoholic drinks department but don\u2019t be scared off \u2014 it’s said to have gotten its name some years ago from folks using a screwdriver to stir it up rather than a spoon.<\/p>\n

This International Bartenders Association (IBA) official cocktail is similar to the Garibaldi, but it mixes vodka<\/a> instead of Campari with OJ for another super-easy 2 ingredient cocktail. Just promise us you\u2019ll avoid mixing it with a rusty screwdriver! It’s one of our easy summer cocktails,<\/a> but if you’re feeling adventurous see our article on how to smoke cocktails<\/a> and take your Screwdriver to another dimension!<\/p>\n

\n
SKYY Vodka<\/span><\/a><\/strong> works well in a Screwdriver cocktail because its clean, neutral flavor blends effortlessly with the brightness of orange juice. It keeps the drink smooth and balanced, letting the simplicity of the classic cocktail shine. A straightforward choice for anyone looking to enjoy this timeless combination.<\/h6>\n<\/blockquote>\n

3. Tequila Sunrise<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"Colorful<\/p>\n

The Tequila Sunrise is another of the classic drinks made with orange juice and this beachy cocktail layers just like a glorious sunrise, giving it all the photogenic appeal. It combines orange juice with grenadine and tequila for a bright, citrusy taste. The sweet syrupy grenadine mixes deliciously with the tangy orange juice for an easy fresh and fruity drink you\u2019ll want to make again and again. Garnished in retro style with a Maraschino cherry, it\u2019s no surprise this cocktail was all the rage in the 70s.<\/p>\n

4. Tequila Sunset<\/h2>\n

\"Tequila<\/p>\n

The Tequila Sunset is very similar to the Tequila Sunrise except it has a deep red tint from the addition of blackberry brandy instead of grenadine. The Tequila Sunset is not as sweet as the Sunrise but it’s still super tasty with all the fruity tanginess you\u2019d expect.<\/p>\n
