Method
Cocktail
Combine and shake
Add vodka, triple sec, fresh orange juice, simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, and orange bitters to a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup).
Shake vigorously
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels cold and slightly frosted. This chills and slightly dilutes the drink for balance.
Strain
If serving over a large ice cube: double-strain the cocktail into a chilled Collins or rocks glass over 1 large ice cube. If serving as a lighter crush: fill the glass with crushed ice and strain the cocktail over the crushed ice.
Finish & Garnish
Top (optional)
If you prefer a slightly fizzy, lighter drink, gently top with 1 oz club soda. Stir once slowly to combine, preserving some effervescence.
Garnish
Garnish with an orange wheel or a twisted orange peel expressed over the drink to release oils. Add a mint sprig for an aromatic touch, if desired.
Serve immediately while cold. Provide a straw if served over crushed ice.
