Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz fresh orange juice (from 1 large orange)
- 1.5 oz vodka (Tito’s, Grey Goose, or your favorite)
- 1 oz triple sec (or Grand Marnier for a richer taste)
- 2 oz club soda (or lemon-lime soda for sweetness)
- Ice (as needed)
- Orange slice (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Glass: Fill a highball glass with crushed ice.
- Juice the Orange: Squeeze a fresh orange and strain out any pulp.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine vodka, triple sec, and fresh orange juice.
- Shake Well: Add ice to the shaker and shake for about 10 seconds.
- Pour & Top Off: Strain into the glass and top with club soda or lemon-lime soda.

Notes
- For a stronger citrus kick, use an orange-flavored vodka.
- For a sweeter taste, swap club soda for lemon-lime soda or peach lemonade.
- For a frozen version, blend all ingredients with ice until smooth.
- For a non-alcoholic version, skip the vodka and triple sec, and replace them with extra orange juice and flavored sparkling water.
