  4. In a cocktail shaker, add ice cubes, orange juice, honey infused vodka, cardamom syrup, cinnamon infused tequila, and a splash of orange blossom water. Shake vigorously until well combined and chilled.
  5. Strain the mixture into a glass with fresh ice cubes, garnish with thinly sliced orange wheels, and enjoy your Moroccan Moonlit Dream Cocktail beneath the stars.
