I would describe the flavor of this drink as “spiced orange.” The lime and bitters enhance the tart notes of the orange juice and liqueurs, and the touch of pimento brings it all together. It’s a tasty, intriguing combination that’s not quite like anything else.

This drink works well with chicken, fish and other white meats. It’s especially good with pork chops because it can compete with the strong flavor of the meat. It also makes a nice aperitif after any meal.
