Notes
Don’t over-grill the marshmallows: Turn them constantly for even browning without burning.
Use fresh oranges: They caramelize better and give the best flavor.
Serve right away: Toasted marshmallows are best enjoyed warm and gooey.
Chill your glasses: This helps keep the cocktail colder longer. A rocks glass or old fashioned glass would work best for these.
And for the kids: Bring graham crackers and chocolate squares too. While the adults are feeling fancy with their delicious campfire cocktails, the little ones can make classic s'mores!
