Recipe: Sunshine Orange Chill

It’s quite literally a Taste of Florida in a glass.

The Coca-Cola Rooftop Beverage Bar didn’t mess around when it came to its Flavors of Florida offering. This one is its take on a screwdriver that comes in a complimentary souvenir glass.

Here’s how to make this orange delight at home.

Sunshine Orange Chill

Yields 2 drinks in martini glasses

Ingredients:

• 2 ounces vodka

• 4 ounces orange juice

• 2 ounces Sprite

• Orange wedge to garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a cocktail shaker, add the vodka and orange juice.

2. Shake it thoroughly.

3. Pour into your glass.

4. Top it off with as much Sprite as you want (approximately 1-2 ounces).

5. Enjoy!

Takeaway:

This was honestly mid. It just tastes like a screwdriver and clearly, it leaned heavily on the Coca-Cola branding and souvenir glass rather than the recipe.

I enjoyed mine with a tad more Sprite (closer to 2 ounces), and we also used a more expensive vodka than usual (Kettle One), which made it really smooth.

This drink would be a good mimosa substitute for a brunch with the besties, but not something to go out of your way to make.

Also, all I could find was a HUGE orange to garnish. So forgive the funny-looking aesthetic of an orange slice that’s bigger than the glass. I tried.
