Preparation Method
In an old fashioned glass squeeze juice from lime wedges. Place one of the lime wedges into the glass and add sugar. Muddle sugar with the lime wedge gently. Don’t overdo to avoid to make the drink too bitter. Throw in a few fresh mint leaves & pour in vodka. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved. Add crushed ice and stir to melt some of the ice. Garnish with lime slice & orange wedge.
