The summer Bitterol cocktail with orange juice is served cold, with ice and two orange slices. Bitterol and juice go in equal parts, and the taste stays citrusy, with a bitter note and a fresh orange aroma, just right for hot days. I like it best in a tall glass, with the orange slices left in. Preparation: 5 minutes. Cooking: 0 minutes. Total time: 5 minutes. Servings: 1. About 170 kcal and 1 g of protein per serving.

Ingredients

100 ml Bitterol aperitif
100 ml orange juice
4 ice cubes
2 orange slices

Preparation

1. Measure 100 ml of Bitterol aperitif and 100 ml of orange juice. 2. Put 4 ice cubes in a glass. 3. Pour the Bitterol over the ice, then add the same amount of orange juice. 4. Top with 2 orange slices and serve right away.

Notes

I found Bitterol at Lidl; if you don't have it, a bitter orange aperitif can replace it in the same amount, though the taste varies from brand to brand. For a non-alcoholic glass, replace the 100 ml of Bitterol with 100 ml of tonic water. Freshly squeezed juice may have pulp; strain it if you want a clearer drink. If the oranges are very sweet, choose a more tart juice. I serve it alongside a bowl of olives. Don't let it sit after adding the ice, since it melts and dilutes the drink.
