Ingredients

• 2 oranges
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 oz. chilled club soda, plus more for topping off
• 1 tsp. acid phosphate
• 1 oz. orange syrup
• 2 dashes orange bitters (optional)
• Orange twist, for serving

Method

1. Peel the 2 oranges with a vegetable peeler and reserve the peels, then juice the oranges to measure 1/2 cup of juice.
2. Blend the fresh orange juice with the sugar for about 20 seconds, until the sugar dissolves completely and the syrup no longer tastes gritty.
3. Return the syrup to a measuring cup, express the oil from the reserved peels into it, stir, then pour the orange syrup into a resealable jar and chill it until serving time.
4. Fill a Collins glass with ice and add the ounce of chilled club soda.
5. Combine the acid phosphate, 1 ounce of the chilled orange syrup and the orange bitters if using in a cocktail shaker, fill the shaker with ice, cover, and shake for about 5 seconds until just lightly chilled.
6. Strain the shaker's contents into the prepared glass, top the drink off with more club soda, and garnish it with the orange twist.
