One evening, the creative mind behind TALL Blonde had a delightful idea to blend various clear spirits with freshly squeezed citrus. This innovative concoction has since become a beloved choice among friends and family. The mere mention of a gathering at the TALL Blonde household brings excitement, especially when the festivities kick off with a frosty martini glass filled with the refreshing and equally chilled mix – aptly named "Orange U Happy."
Equal parts:
Tanqueray Gin
Absolut Mandarin Vodka
Triple Sec
One peel of orange the length of the circumference of one fruit
Pour liquor into a shaker (that too is kept in the freezer)
Press the oils from the orange peel into the shaker by slightly folding the cut side of the peel into the shaker, you will feel a slight spray telling you that you did it correctly.
Fill shaker with ice, put the top on and shake hard for a good 30 seconds.
Strain into a freezer-chilled martini glass and serve.
TALL Blonde makes this in advance which allows the orange peel to infuse the alcohol giving it a mild orange color before adding ice and shaking.
Enjoy Responsibly with Friends!
