Whether you’re a celebrity mixologist who only prepares the finest elixirs for Hollywood starlets or the average bartender serving ice-cold cervezas at the local watering hole, there’s one ingredient you can’t be without. Like it or not, any well stocked bar needs orange juice or you can expect a lot of angry fashionistas raising hell over missing out on their brunch Mimosas or evening Screwdrivers. Fortunately, you don’t need to let the citrus goodness go to waste when you can’t think of a new way to shake things up. Simply infuse it with smooth vodka and you’re on your way to creating the season’s hottest cocktail, the Bellringer. Featuring luscious apricot nectar, freshly squeezed lime juice, and spicy cayenne pepper, the Bellringer will wake up any sleepy patron during happy hour. And after one glass, “Ring My Bell” will have a whole new meaning, especially when you’re suddenly ready to hit the dance floor.
