May I suggest that we start with a very simple cocktail like a classic Margarita? 1 Part Lime, 2 Parts Orange Liqur, 3 parts Tequila. Basic cocktial and the simplicity of it brings out the best (and worst) of the flavors in question. I have found that a silver (anejo) tequila showcases the orange a bit better. For those playing along make a cocktail with each of your orange variants and report your findings. For those of you with only one orange option on your bar you will just have to make two or three with what you have to keep up. We can then move up to more complicated/complex cocktails.... I say Game-On unless someone has a better idea..... To the Bar! I mean Lab! Yeah! To the LAB! Igor, more limes
