  • Instructions
  • Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients. Freshly squeeze the orange juice if possible, as it makes a noticeable difference in flavor.
  • Mix the Drink:
  • In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, orange juice, orange liqueur, simple syrup, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using).
  • Fill the shaker with ice cubes enough to chill the drink thoroughly.
  • Shake It Up: Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. This not only mixes the ingredients but also chills them nicely.
  • Strain and Serve:
  • Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass.
  • Garnish with an orange slice on the rim or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for a lovely presentation.
  • Enjoy: Sip and savor the refreshing and spiced flavors of your Spiced Orange Martini!
  • Variations
  • Spiced Orange Fizz: Add a splash of club soda for a fizzy twist.
  • Cinnamon Apple Martini: Substitute apple juice for the orange juice and add a dash of apple pie spice.
  • Mocktail Version: Replace vodka with sparkling water and use a bit more orange juice and simple syrup.
