I only smoke when I drink!

This is the famous CR Citrus from Smokin’ Connie. You might be wondering how this side hustle became a reality. 

In November 2017, I visited my old man’s childhood home on Campus Road in Eagle Rock. The house tells a story of its own; yet, I was drawn to the mature Meyer Lemon trees in the backyard. Within a week, life gave me lemons and a Traeger and the rest of the story is being written. 

I now contract with citrus farms in Southern and Central California. In most instances this citrus has made the journey directly from grove to my smoker to your cocktail within a week. Each piece of fruit is hand sliced. Some end up imperfect in shape which is fine with me.

1. $20 will get you:

• 1 bag of the good stuff-we're talking 20 slices of pure goodness!
• Currently, we are featuring Cara Cara Oranges-fresh from Central California.
• Please indicate if you would like regular or SPICY (dusted with Tajin). slices. 
• Sales tax and shipping included. 
• PLEASE INCLUDE MAILING ADDRESS AND CONTACT INFO IF USING VENMO. 

USPS has been a bit wonky lately. Shipping usually takes a few days. You will receive a confirmation email once it has been shipped.

You might find that you can’t polish off a bag of these slices in one weekend. Here are some storage tips; 

• Take your remaining fruit and place in an airtight container.
• I always encourage folks to store them in the fridge. 
• They can even be stored in freezer.
• They should stay fresh for approximately two months but can be compromised if left in the heat.
