there's more to rhyming than sharing the last two letters, dale.

Jose Cuervo has a new line of flavored tequilas. They've named the orange flavored one:
Tequila Oranjo
My Spanish is almost non-existant but I do know that orange (fruit) in Spanish is naranja and orange (color) is anaranjado. Is "oranjo" legitimate or am I right to think it's cod-Spanish ala Taco Bell?

Tequila Oranjo

Well, they got the gender right. Lo tequila is neuter in Spanish in spite of its -a ending. Probably a way to insure trademarkability.
