Before we can make the cocktails we have to prepare the oranges. To create the orange juice that will be used for the cocktail, you will need the following:
- 6 navel oranges
- Luxardo Maraschino Cherries - 14 oz. jar
- Luxardo Cherry Liqueur
- Pour the Maraschino cherries and juice into a 32 oz. jar.
- Fill the remainder of the jar with Luxardo Cherry Liqueur and stir to mix together.
- Slice the navel oranges in half and lay out on baking sheet, fruit side up.
- Brush each orange with the Luxardo cherry mixture, allowing it to dry. Repeat this process 3 to 4 times.
- Heat grill...I used a Louisiana Grills 300 Portable Pellet Grill - this thing is an absolute beast - to 400F. Place oranges on grill fruit side down, allowing the Luxardo cherry glaze to grill and smoke and roast. Remove from heat when glaze begins to caramelize and brush on another layer of the Luxardo cherry mixture.
- With the Louisiana Grills 300 Portable Pellet Grill, open up the sear plate and place the oranges directly above the flame, allowing the Luxardo cherry glaze to char into the orange.
- Once oranges reach desired char - I like a nice, caramelized crust, remove from grill and allow to cool
- Juice the oranges
