Arugula Citrus Salad with Manchego

WHY THE PARING WORKS

The Orange Blossom Martini is bright, floral, and citrus-forward, with soft botanical notes and a clean agave finish. Paired with a peppery arugula citrus salad, the fresh citrus echoes the cocktail’s orange blossom character while Manchego adds a savory, nutty richness that balances the light acidity for a refreshing, elegant pairing.

  • 4 cups fresh arugula
  • 1 orange, segmented
  • 1 grapefruit or blood orange, segmented
