How to make Orange Cups:

  • With a small serrated knife, score a line around the middle of each orange.
  • Then using the line as a guide, cut each orange in half in a zipzag pattern to make a decorative edge. Loosen the pulp from the shell; cut around the inside of each orange half with a knife.
  • Using a small spoon, carefully remove and discard the pulp, leaving the orange shell intact.

Kirsch:
Kirschwasser [KEERSH; KEERSH-vah-ser]
From the German Kirsch (“cherry”) and Wasser (“water”), this clear BRANDY is distilled from cherry juice and pits. In cookery, it’s most prominently known as a flavorful addition to: FONDUE and CHERRIES JUBILEE.
