Agent OrangeCocktail recipe
Rating
Agent Orange is a citrusy and refreshing cocktail that is known for its bright orange color and zesty flavor. This cocktail first gained popularity during the 1960s and was named after the chemical used in the Vietnam War.
It is believed to have been invented by a bartender at the American embassy in Saigon. The combination of orange liqueur, vodka, triple sec, and a dash of orange juice creates a balanced and tangy flavor with a slight kick from the vodka.
The orange liqueur and triple sec add a touch of syrupy sweetness, while the vodka provides a smooth and clean finish. Agent Orange is a popular choice for lovers of fruity and easy-to-drink cocktails.
