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. 

Coca-Cola® Orange Vanilla Cocktail idea:

• 1-2 dashes orange bitters
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 4 ounces coca-cola orange vanilla soda

Directions:

1. Into a cocktail shaker add ice, rye, orange curacao, orange bitters, and honey. 
2. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 30 seconds.
3. Remove the lid and add the coca-cola orange vanilla.
4. Stir with a long-handled bar spoon. 
5. Pour into a rocks glass over ice.
6. Garnish with slices of blood oranges and lemons.
7. Add a fresh sprig of rosemary.
8. Serve.
