OJEN COCKTAIL
This distinctive New Orleans cocktail centers on the unique, sweet anise flavor of Ojen liqueur, a historic Spanish spirit similar to anisette. Balanced by the tart freshness of lime juice and the aromatic depth of Angostura bitters, the drink is lightened with a splash of seltzer for a refreshing finish. Served over a large lump of ice in a traditional Toddy glass, it offers a sophisticated and cooling sipping experience perfect for warm evenings.
