Ingredients

  • 1/2 orange, sliced

  • 1/2 cup triple sec
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • Orange and/or lemon wheels for garnish

Instructions

  1. Remove any seeds from the orange and lemon slices and place them in the bottom of a large pitcher. Using a muddler or wooden spoon, gently muddle the fruit to release some of the juices.
