Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 whole Fresh Orange Always go for the juiciest, vibrant oranges. Organic oranges work great.
  • 2 ounces Vodka A mid-range vodka like Tito's or Grey Goose works well.
  • 1 ounce Triple Sec Cointreau is a premium choice for a better taste.
  • 3 ounces Lemon-Lime Soda Sprite or 7-Up are classic options; homemade lemonade can be a substitute.
Garnishes
  • 1 slice Orange Wedge For garnish, adds aroma.
  • 1 whole Maraschino Cherry Adds color and a nostalgic touch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Fill a tall glass halfway with crushed ice.
  2. Pour in the vodka and triple sec, swirl gently to blend.
  3. Juice the fresh orange into the glass (about 2 ounces), using a strainer to catch seeds if available.
  4. Top with lemon-lime soda, pouring gently to avoid overflow.
  5. Garnish with an orange wedge and maraschino cherry.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Serve immediately for the best fizz. Use fresh oranges for optimal flavor and avoid using old fruits or too much ice which can dilute the drink.
