The Ninja Turtle is a vibrant cocktail that brings together the zesty sweetness of orange juice with the botanical notes of gin, and the citrusy punch of orange liqueur. Its enticing orange hue and refreshing aroma make it an appealing choice for those who enjoy fruit-forward beverages with a kick of alcohol sophistication. Often served in a highball glass, the Ninja Turtle is a choice that leans towards a laid-back enjoyment, perfect for sipping on a bright afternoon or at a casual gathering where a light, cheerful drink is desired. Its name implies a playful twist, likely inspired by the energy and color associated with the famous comic and TV show characters.
