Begin by gathering your ingredients including orange juice, vodka, ice, orange slices and a collins glass for serving.
Fill your glass with ice and add two ounces of vodka to the ice. Top it off with orange juice and give it a nice stir.
To garnish, I placed some thin cut orange slices into the outer edges of the drink, and the ice holds them in place.
Serve immediately.
Notes
Try a flavored vodka for added flavor. I recommend trying citrus cherry or vanilla (if you enjoy a creamsicle flavor).
If you would like to add a little sweetness, try adding some grenadine syrup or simple syrup. Start with half an ounce and add more until you are happy with the flavor.
Lighten up the flavor of drink by adding half orange juice and half club soda or ginger ale to your drink.
If you’re not an orange juice fan, try this recipe with different juices: cranberry, mango and pineapple are all delicious options.
