Ingredients:

  • 2 oz orange-flavored vodka
  • 0.5 oz triple sec
  • 1 large Valencia orange, fresh squeezed
  • 2 oz lemon-lime soda
  • 2 cups crushed ice

Instructions:

  1. Slice the orange in half. Use a manual citrus press to extract the juice directly into a 16 oz pint glass, ensuring the essential oils from the peel are emulsified into the juice.
  2. Pour the orange-flavored vodka and triple sec directly over the fresh orange juice in the glass.
  3. Pack the glass to the brim with crushed ice. The high surface area of the crushed ice will flash-chill the spirits and juice instantly.
  4. Top the glass with lemon-lime soda. Pour it slowly over the back of a spoon to preserve maximum carbonation.
  5. Give the drink a very gentle stir with a long bar spoon to integrate the layers without destroying the bubbles. Garnish with an orange wheel if desired.
