This is a really refreshing drink for summer, best enjoyed in the garden on a warm day. Nibble smoked almonds and padron peppers as you drink it, for a great food pairing.

Ingredients

  • 1 orange
  • 50ml vodka
  • 5 mint leaves, plus 1 sprig to serve
  • 100ml soda water
  • 1 handful ice cubes
  • 1 lemon twist

Method

Step 1

To make a quick citrus-infused vodka, use a vegetable peeler to pare 2 pieces of zest from the orange, each about 5cm long, and remove the white pith. Mix the zest strips with the vodka and leave to infuse for at least 5 mins, or up to 3 hrs. You can increase the quantities to make more citrus-infused vodka as needed. Strain and store in the fridge.

Step 2

Squeeze the orange and strain the juice to make 50ml.

Step 3

Gently squeeze the mint leaves and put them into a tall tumbler. Add the orange juice, soda water and infused vodka. Stir, add ice, then garnish with a lemon twist and a sprig of mint.
