These ginger shots are delicious! Took them to work and everyone loved them. I have orange trees that are overflowing with fruit. Can I replace the pineapple in this recipe with oranges? If so, do you recommend I use 2 cups of oranges in place of pineapple or less/more? Please advise.

So glad they were a hit 😊 You can swap in oranges, but I’d use about 1½ cups since they’re juicier and a bit less sweet than pineapple.
