For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality orange zest. If the frosting is too thick, add a teaspoon of orange liqueur or milk at a time until you reach the desired consistency. If the frosting is too thin, add a tablespoon of confectioners' sugar at a time until you reach the desired consistency. This frosting can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature and re-whip before using.
