Citrus Collins recipe image

This Citrus Collins is the perfect summer refresher, offering a delicate balance of sweet orange and sharp lemon flavors. The addition of simple syrup ensures a smooth, rounded taste that isn’t too acidic, while the splash of club soda adds a lively, fizzy texture that cleanses the palate. It’s an ideal beverage for hot afternoons, brunch gatherings, or as a sophisticated mocktail option for guests who prefer not to drink alcohol. Freshly squeezed juices make all the difference here, providing a vibrant aroma and natural sweetness that bottled alternatives simply can’t match. Serve it chilled over ice for maximum refreshment.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Fill a highball glass with ice cubes to chill the vessel.
  2. Pour the orange juice, lemon juice, and simple syrup over the ice.
  3. Stir gently for a few seconds to combine the juices and syrup thoroughly.
  4. Top off the glass with club soda, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
