XPath to select an element based on string values of multiple children?

Question

I'm trying to find an element based on the attributes of multiple children. This is what I have so far

//div[a[contains(text(),"Liquid")] and a[contains(text(),"Orange")]]

This is what I want to find

<div class="inner-article">
    <a style="height:150px;" href="/shop/hats/jjklos2it/cacyn7gr5"
        <img width="150" height="150" src="//assets.supremenewyork.com/158414/vi/iDhLpmX68d4.jpg" alt="Idhlpmx68d4">
        <div class="sold_out_tag">sold out</div>
    </a>
    <h1>
        <a class="name-link" href="/shop/hats/jjklos2it/cacyn7gr5">Liquid Silk Camp Cap</a>
    </h1>
    <p>
        <a class="name-link" href="/shop/hats/jjklos2it/cacyn7gr5">Orange</a>
    </p>
</div>

In conclusion, I want to find the div with both 'Liquid' and 'Orange' children.

Those links are not children, but descendants, so try

//div[.//a[contains(text(),"Liquid")] and .//a[contains(text(),"Orange")]]

Thank you, how would I make it so the code also specifically chooses the div with the class "inner-article".

@RishiPatel , //div[@class="inner-article" and .//a[contains(text(),"Liquid")] and .//a[contains(text(),"Orange")]]. Don't forget to accept answer if it solved your problem
