Notes
Ingredient Notes and Shopping Tips
- Orange Juice: Use freshly squeezed for the best flavor. I like using Valencia oranges as they're sweet and yield a lot of juice. If you can't find them navel oranges will also work. You can substitute store bought orange juice if you prefer. I suggest pulp free for a smoother drink.
- Cranberry Juice: Avoid no sugar added drinks which can be too tart. Instead, use sweetened cranberry juice, also called cranberry juice cocktail.
- Vodka: Use a mid-shelf vodka. I like Absolut and Titos best.
- Maximize Juice: Roll oranges on the counter or nuke in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to get as much juice as possible out.
- Too Tart: Add some simple syrup or soda pop if you prefer a sweeter drink.
