the scene:
orange slices from childhood soccer halftimes when your knees are grass-stained and scuffed and your socks are rolling down on your shin guards.
fresh sweet water straight from the coconut fruit, just cut by the person at the stand, sipping from the colored plastic straws to cool off under the hot tropical sun.
sticky juice running down your arms to your elbows, down your chin and seeping into your collar, as you indulge in the sweet grittiness of the ripe fresh figs you plucked from the tree outside.
bitter, fizzy hydration in the form of aperol spritzes you sip on the moment summer peeks around the corner and life feels lighter again.
orange creamsicle pops and soft serve swirl cups during recesses and summer camp breaks when the sweat is running down your temples and your only thought is the wonder of it all.
the cake:
aperol orange cake with vanilla coconut cream and fresh orange and fig slices finished with a light prosecco coconut whipped cream.
