Just before the new school year, we camp at Perkins Park in Big Bay. When we camp, we make “Dragon eggs”, so-named because my girls, niece, and nephew thought they looked like dragon eggs sitting in the fire. We always soak the orange innards in booze for an adult treat later. This time, I made a cocktail. Thank you to @carefree.spirits.distillery for the @chakravodkas ! It is incredible and a perfect base for this tasty treat!

Editor's Note

Campfire-smoked orange and cocoa bitters transform this vodka base into a thematic, smoky sipper. The soaked orange garnish provides a boozy, fruit-forward finish.
