• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Cold water
• 1 cup Ice cubes
• 2 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the lemon and orange thoroughly to remove any residue.

Step 2

Cut the lemon and orange in half. Squeeze the juice from both halves of the lemon and both halves of the orange into a large glass or cocktail shaker, removing any seeds in the process.

Add the granulated sugar to the glass or shaker with the freshly squeezed citrus juice.

Using a wooden spoon or muddler, mix and mash the sugar into the juice until it starts to dissolve.

Step 5

Add the cold water to the mixture and stir well to combine.

Step 6

Fill the glass or shaker with ice cubes, creating a chilled base for your drink.

Step 7

If using a shaker, secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds to thoroughly mix and chill the drink. If using a mixing glass, stir well until the mixture is cold.

Step 8

Pour the mixture over a serving glass filled with additional ice cubes. Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and added aroma.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Citrus Shakeup!
