Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • Ice cubes (as needed)
  • Orange peel (1, for garnish)
  • Club soda (a splash)
  • Orange liqueur (1 oz)
  • Simple syrup (1/2 oz)
  • Lemon juice (1/2 oz, freshly squeezed)
  • Gin (2 oz)

Instructions

  1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice to chill it.
  2. Pour the gin, freshly squeezed lemon juice, simple syrup, and orange liqueur into the shaker.
  3. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This not only combines the ingredients but also chills them and adds a slight dilution, which is crucial for a well-balanced cocktail.
  4. Strain the cocktail into a chilled glass to remove the ice shards and ensure a smooth drink.
  5. Top the cocktail with a splash of club soda for that refreshing fizz.
  6. Twist an orange peel over the glass to release its oils, then rub it around the rim and drop it into the cocktail as a garnish.
  7. Serve immediately and savor the harmonious blend of flavors.
