For the Love of Three Oranges

My sister-in-law has a dwarf orange tree that her bro gave her as a gift a couple years ago. Despite Cape Cod winters, it occasionally makes fruit, and recently produced three cute little oranges. What to do with all this (tiny) fruit? She made cocktails with it. Now that's a nice homespun winter touch- "Oh, this? I made this from my fruit trees".

I suggested take the next bounty and cook it down with equal parts sugar and water for a simple syrup. That way, more people can enjoy the "harvest". Who says winter is dull and lifeless? Not with baby orange cocktails, friends.
