Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Chill glass (optional)

    If you prefer a colder drink, place the serving glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice and water while you prepare the cocktail, then discard the ice water before pouring.

  2. 2

    Build the drink

    Fill a highball glass with the ice cubes (about 1 cup). Pour in 2 oz vodka over the ice, then add 4 oz fresh orange juice. If you like a slightly sweeter drink, add up to 1/4 tsp simple syrup and stir gently to combine.

  3. 3

    Garnish

    Run the orange wheel around the rim of the glass (optional), then drop it into the glass or place it on the rim as a garnish.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve immediately with a long spoon or straw so the drink can be stirred again before drinking if desired.
