Ingredients:

  • 2 oz orange-flavored vodka
  • 1 oz triple sec
  • 1 large navel orange, freshly squeezed
  • 2 oz lemon-lime soda
  • 2 cups crushed ice
  • 1 orange slice for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Slice the navel orange in half and use a manual citrus press to squeeze both halves directly into a pint glass, ensuring the aromatic oils from the peel are extracted along with the juice and pulp.
  2. Add the orange-flavored vodka and triple sec to the fresh juice. Stir gently with a bar spoon for approximately 5 seconds to integrate the spirits with the citrus.
  3. Fill the glass to the brim with crushed ice. Pour the lemon-lime soda over the ice and perform one final gentle stir from the bottom up. Garnish with an orange wheel and serve immediately.
