Orange Crush Cocktail Recipe
A fresh, fizzy citrus cocktail with vodka, orange liqueur, and hand‑squeezed orange juice topped with a splash of lemon‑lime soda—cold, bright, and super refreshing.
Equipment
- Citrus juicer
- Cocktail shaker
- Collins glass
- Jigger or measuring cup
- Strainer
- Bar spoon
Ingredients
- 2 oz vodka plain or citrus
- 1 oz orange liqueur triple sec, Cointreau, or Grand Marnier
- 3 oz fresh orange juice squeeze to order
- lemon-lime soda splash, to top
- crushed ice for shaker and glass
- orange slice for garnish
Instructions
- Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with crushed ice.
- Add vodka, orange liqueur, and fresh orange juice.
- Shake for about 10 seconds until the shaker feels frosty.
- Strain into a Collins glass packed with crushed ice.
- Top with a splash of lemon-lime soda, give a gentle stir, and garnish with an orange slice.
Notes
Use citrus vodka for a fruitier kick. For a drier drink, reduce or skip the soda. Freshly squeezed orange juice makes a big difference in brightness.
