Might I?
- Add ingredients into a blender. Add ice until just above the meniscus of the ingredients.
- Blend until smooth and serve in a rocks glass.

Bittered Mandarin Orange Syrup
- Empty DOLE Mandarins Can into a large pot and set to low heat.
- Add sugar, orange zest and water and bring to a simmer for 10-15 minutes. Allow to cool.

Avocado Pit Orgeat (optional)
- Make sure avocado pits are clean and dry. Scrub off any excess avocado and leave to dry-out overnight or under heat.
- Add avocado pits into a blender and blend until the shreds are fine and consistently sized.
- Over medium-high heat, toast the avocado shreds, constantly moving the pits around in the pan until they turn bright orange.
- In a bowl or saucepan, stir together the toasted pits, sugar and water and stir. Use only half the water for a richer syrup. Allow to infuse overnight.
- The next day, return mixture to blender and blitz to combine. Strain and store in squeeze bottle.
