Autumn is here, yet no one would ever know it with these warm temperatures. The trees are lacking their vibrant and luscious autumnal colors, lilacs are blooming, dandelions are popping up, and roses are blossoming. On my walk today, I noticed the most stunning orange rose, each petal silky and opened to perfection. Climate change has had an unsettling and frightening impact on our earth. Take time each day to appreciate the beauty of nature's perplexity.

Make the ice cube the day before. Pour 1/3 part orange juice and 2/3 parts grapefruit juice into the rose ice cube mold.
On a small plate, combine the sanding sugar and coarse salt. Rim a cocktail glass with the mixture and set aside.
Add the silver tequila, Grand Marnier, grapefruit juice, orange juice, lime juice, and simple syrup to an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously and strain into the prepared cocktail glass. Carefully place the rose ice cube in the cocktail glass.
