Blood Orange & Mandarin Ving
/There is nothing more refreshing than a fresh squeezed citrus cocktail and the perfect pairing for this one is with Ving Vodka! I am so glad I discovered this Vodka, known as the worlds cleanest Vodka! It is women owned, local here in LA, organic and all of their produce is wax free!
I love indulging in a cocktail from time to time but the key is to keep it as clean as possible with fresh produce and carefully crafted liquor that is as clean as it can be.
I look forward to whipping up more delicious beverages with Ving Vodka!
