Suitable For: Casual get-togethers, tailgating parties, or those who appreciate a no-fuss, classic highball.
Health Benefits: This drink relies heavily on Orange Juice, which is packed with Vitamin C, potassium, and folate. It’s a simple way to get a fruit boost while enjoying a cocktail.
Ingredients
- Vodka -- 1.5 oz (45ml)
- Fresh Oranges -- 2-3 medium (enough for 5 oz/150ml juice)
- Ice Cubes -- 1 cup
Steps
- Prep: Wash the oranges thoroughly. Cut them into quarters.
- Juice: Run the oranges through your juicer to extract fresh, vibrant juice.
- Mix: Fill a glass with ice. Pour in the vodka, then top with the freshly juiced orange juice. Stir well.
- Serve: Garnish with an orange wheel.
Tips & Variations
- Harvey Wallbanger: Float a splash of Galliano liqueur on top to turn this into a 70s classic.
- Sonic Screwdriver: Add a splash of Blue Curaçao for a fun color twist (and a Doctor Who reference).
- Spice it up: A pinch of salt or a dash of bitters can add complexity to the simple flavor profile.
Best Time to Drink
A staple for late-morning brunches or afternoon backyard BBQs.

Taste Experience
Crisp and refreshing. The quality of this drink depends entirely on the juice—using fresh-pressed orange juice makes it bright, pulpy, and far superior to bottled versions, masking the vodka smoothly.
