Orange Brownies with Cable Car Sauce

These brownies were super easy.  I simply replaced the water in the recipe with freshly squeezed orange juice and added the zest of that same orange.

The sauce was also very easy.  I made one serving of a Cable Car Cocktail and added some additional sugar and butter.  I think it will make an excellent syrup for the blueberry pancakes I will be making today for National Blueberry Pancake Day!
