The Orange Crush Cocktail is a refreshing blend of vodka, orange liqueur, and fresh orange juice, topped with club soda for a fizzy finish. Perfect for sunny days or celebrations, this vibrant drink is both visually appealing and delicious, making it a crowd-pleaser at any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • Club soda, to top off
  • Ice cubes

  8. Garnish: Garnish with a slice of fresh orange on the rim and add fresh mint leaves for an extra touch.
