Instructions
Step 1: Ice Your Glass
- I always start by filling a highball glass with ice cubes. It keeps your drink cool and refreshing from the first sip to the last.
Step 2: Combine Vodka and Orange Juice
- Next, pour the vodka and orange juice into a cocktail shaker. If possible, the orange juice should be fresh, as it gives a much brighter flavor.
Step 3: Shake It
- Seal your shaker and give it a good shake. You want everything to be well mixed and chilled, enhancing the vodka’s smoothness with the orange juice’s freshness.
Step 4: Assemble Your Drink
