Citrus Rye Honey Cocktail

With the new Coca-Cola® Orange Vanilla available now, I’ve created a Citrus Rye Honey Cocktail with this new flavor. Made with honey, rye, orange bitters, and orange curacao, this will be a cocktail you will want to add to your summer playlist of drinks. 

Citrus Rye Honey Cocktail

Have you noticed the days are getting longer? And with the longer days, it seems my patience is getting shorter for the long hot days of summer. But until then let’s enjoy our Citrus Rye Honey Cocktail made with the new Coca-Cola® Orange Vanilla. I am pretty sure this just might become my go-to cocktail for the summer. This new variety of soda from Coca-Cola is a mix of vanilla and citrus flavors, blended together for a delicious taste. This Coca-Cola® Orange Vanilla says summer is just around the corner. 

For this cocktail idea, I am blending the orange vanilla with sweet honey, rye, orange bitters, and orange curacao. You can grab the recipe down below.
