30 ml 1 fl oz orange liqueur
15 ml 1/2 fl oz freshly squeezed orange juice
Ice cubes
Orange twist or a slice of fresh orange
Equipment
Cocktail Shaker- Jigger
- Hawthorne strainer
- Martini glass
- Citrus press
Instructions
- Place your martini glass in the freezer to chill for a few minutes.
- In a cocktail shaker, add vodka, orange liqueur, freshly squeezed orange juice, and a generous handful of ice cubes.
- Shake the mixture vigorously for about 15 seconds. The shaker should feel cold to the touch.
- Strain the mixture into an martini glass filled with fresh ice.
- Add a twist of orange peel or a thin slice of fresh orange on the rim of the glass for an elegant touch.
Notes
- For an extra burst of citrus aroma, twist the orange peel over the drink before placing it as a garnish. This releases the essential oils from the peel, enhancing the orange scent.
