How to Make Crushed Gold

  1. Freeze 2 large oranges for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the pulp is slightly crystallized.
  2. Peel and deseed the frozen oranges. Discard the peel and seeds.
  3. Place the frozen orange segments into a sturdy, wide-mouth glass, filling it approximately ¾ full.
  4. Carefully crush the frozen oranges using a muddler or the back of a spoon until a thick, crushed consistency is achieved. The volume should reduce to roughly half.
  5. Add 2 ounces of vodka to the crushed orange mixture.
  6. Top the glass with chilled carbonated water.
  7. Gently stir to combine.
  8. Garnish with an orange wedge (optional). Serve immediately with a small fork for enjoying the crushed orange pieces.
  9. Cheers!
