Seda de Naranja | Cocktail Party

Seda de Naranja

Seda de Naranja is Spanish for “orange silk” – a fitting name for this smooth, elegant sparkling citrus cocktail. Invented by the inimitable Phil Ward at Death & Co, it is surprisingly simple and easy to make.

Leave the Pierre Ferrand on the shelf for this one; the Seda de Naranja requires a rich, sweet curaçao with a jammy quality, like Grand Marnier. That sweetness is kept in check with a dry sparkling wine (Ward calls for Champagne specifically).
