1
Prepare the Oranges
Begin by washing the fresh oranges under cool running water. Cut them in half and juice them using a citrus juicer or a hand juicer. You should end up with about 1 cup of fresh orange juice. Set the juice aside.
2
Create the Mint Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Once dissolved, remove from heat and add 1 cup of fresh mint leaves. Let it steep for at least 30 minutes, then strain out the mint leaves. Allow the syrup to cool.
3
Mix the Cocktail
In a large pitcher, combine the fresh orange juice, 1 cup of the mint syrup (more can be added to taste), and 1 cup of vodka. Stir well to mix all the ingredients together.
4
Serve
In a glass, add a few ice cubes (approximately 1/2 cup) and pour the orange mixture over the ice until the glass is about 2/3 full. Top off with club soda to taste, and garnish with a fresh mint leaf.
5
Enjoy
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Orange Crush cocktail!
