How to make a 50/50

To make a 50/50, build over ice in a highball glass: 2½ oz vanilla vodka, ¼ oz Grand Marnier and orange juice.

You'll need

1 drink

Instructions

  1. 1

    Fill a highball glass with crushed ice.

  2. 2

    Pour in vanilla vodka and Grand Marnier.

    Top with orange juice.

    Give it one gentle stir.

Why build it in the glass? Nothing here needs shaking, and pouring straight in keeps the orange juice fizzy.
