1 quart size jar with a lid or equal size glass with a tight sealing lid
muddler or wooden spoon
Ingredients
1wholeorange
1/4cupsugar
ice
water
Instructions
Add 1/4 cup of sugar to your jar or glass
Wash your orange (we are using the rind and all for this recipe) and then cut the orange into thick slices or wedges and drop in your jar or glass
Using a muddler or the handle of a wooden spoon - mash and stir the orange pieces into the sugar - releasing the oils in the rind and juicing the orange and pulp
Fill the jar with ice, crushed ice if you are feeling extra boujee
Now fill your jar or glass with water, leaving an inch or so at the top for room to shake. Now place the lid on tight and shake well to combine and distribute the orange sugar goodness. Keep shaking until the sugar dissolves, usually 30-45 seconds
Remove the lid, garnish with a slice of orange if you like, add a straw and enjoy your easy fresh Orange Shake-Up
If you are of age you can always add a shot of your favorite liquor - a flavored vodka is my personal favorite
