Ingredients

  • 2 oz Seville orange juice (about 1 Seville orange)
  • 1 oz Cointreau
  • 1 oz good quality vodka
  • 0.50 oz Infused Simple Syrup
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Zest from 1 Seville orange

Instructions

  1. Using a vegetable peeler, peel the zest from one Seville orange, ensuring to remove any white pith.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and the orange zest. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar completely dissolves.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the orange zest infuse the syrup for 30 minutes. Then, remove the orange zest and transfer the syrup to a small bottle or jar. Refrigerate the remaining syrup for other uses.
  4. Juice the Seville oranges and set the juice aside.
  5. Fill a large cocktail shaker with ice, then add the Seville orange juice, Cointreau, vodka, and infused simple syrup. Stir until well combined and the mixture is cold.
  6. Strain the cocktail into a glass, and garnish with additional orange peel if desired.
