This simple syrup is easy and delicious in cocktails, non-alcoholic drinks, desserts and baked goods.  I can’t wait to try it with my cinnamon rolls, hopefully tonight!  Orange Cinnamon Rolls would be perfect for Denver Bronco game day morning.

I created this yummy syrup to go in my Orange Crush-sicle Cocktail for tomorrow’s AFC Championship Game.  Go Broncos!!!
