Instructions

Muddle the Orange. Combine the ingredients in a chilled Wine glass filled with multiple pieces of ice and stir until the drink is sufficiently chilled. Garnish with the Mint sprig, and the Orange slice.

Notes

One of America's oldest cocktails, credited with popularising the drinking straw in the 1830s. Muddle the orange quarter in the glass before adding sherry and syrup. Fill with crushed ice and stir gently. Garnish lavishly with seasonal fruit and a mint sprig — the visual presentation is part of the drink's identity. See more three ingredient cocktails.

About the ingredients

Simple syrup: Simple syrup (aka sugar syrup, or bar syrup) is a basic sugar-and-water syrup used by bartenders as a sweetener to make cocktails. Simple syrup is made by stirring granulated sugar into hot water in a saucepan until the sugar is dissolved and then cooling the solution. The ratio of sugar to water is 1:1 by volume for normal simple syrup, but can get up to 2:1 for rich simple syrup. For pure sucrose the saturation limit is about 5:1 (500 grams (18 oz) sucrose to 100 millilitres (3.5 imp fl oz; 3.4 US fl oz) water).
