Instructions
- Fill a highball glass to the brim with ice. Set aside to chill.
- In a cocktail shaker (paid link) filled with ice, combine the vodka, Grand Marnier, and freshly squeezed Mandarin orange juice.
- Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10 to 15 seconds.
- Strain the chilled mixture directly into your prepared glass.
- Gently pour the 2 ounces of orange-flavored sparkling water over the cocktail.
- Garnish with a fresh orange wheel or slice tucked against the rim. Stir gently with a straw and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Slice fresh Mandarin oranges in half and juice them using a citrus press until you have 3 ounces of fresh juice. Strain out any seeds if necessary.
- Options for orange liqueur are Cointreau, Triple Sec, or Grand Marnier. Here’s a quick rule of thumb…if you go with an orange-flavored vodka, use Cointreau. If you go with unflavored vodka, use Grand Marnier.
- You can top off your cocktail with orange-flavored or plain sparkling water, club soda, or Sprite.
