Prepare Your Glass: Start by chilling your glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and letting it sit while you prepare the cocktail.

Mix the Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine the orange liqueur, vodka, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup.

Shake It Up: Add ice to the shaker, cover it, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. This ensures all the ingredients mix well and become nicely chilled.

Strain: Discard the ice water from your glass and strain the mixture from the shaker into the glass. You can use a fine mesh strainer for a smoother finish if desired.

Add Soda: Top the cocktail with soda water to add a refreshing fizz. Stir gently to combine.

Garnish: Add a slice of orange and a few mint leaves for a pop of color and extra aroma.

Serve: Enjoy your Orange Liqueur Cocktail immediately!
