If youre looking for an upgrade to a simple vodka and orange soda, look no further bartender naren young from nycs date has you covered with the oranges, etc. , an in-your-face orange highball that uses pretty much every orange-flavored ingredient in our library. Young calls for aperol, which is easily the most drinkable brand of bitter orange liqueur. If youre already a fan of campari, though, youd certainly enjoy it here. Weve tried it with the original recipes orange curaao, as well as a dryer triple sec, and its tasty both ways. Its especially delicious with shrubb, a spiced orange liqueur from martinique. In a pinch, you can make it with a standard orange soda like fanta or orange crush but its even better as young makes it, with an italian orange soda like sanpellegrino aranciata. You can get away with bottled orange juice here, but we implore you to try it with fresh-squeezed juice. You neednt limit yourself to standard oranges, either blood oranges, mandarins or tangerines will really make it shine.
