Vodka Orange Sipper Food

VODKA AND ORANGE

Steps:

• Combine the orange juice and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until reduced to 1 cup. Add the Grand Marnier and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate. (The orange syrup can be made up to 1 week in advance and stored in the refrigerator.)
• In each of 4 to 6 rocks glasses, stir together 2 tablespoons of the cold orange syrup and a shot of vodka. Add a scoop of ice and top off with club soda. Float a slice of orange on top of each drink and serve.

HOT ORANGE JUICE SIPPER

Steps:

• Add the sugar, cloves, cinnamon, and instant tea to boiling water. Mix. Add orange juice and mix well. Serve hot, garnished with round orange slices. Serves 6.

POMEGRANATE BLUEBERRY VODKA SIPPER

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients; except blueberries in a blender and process or mix by hand in a small bowl (easier for a single serving).
• Top with blueberries for garnish if you wish.
• Serve in Martini Glass.
• Serve immediately.
• *Note: If sorbet is too hard straight out of the freezer to mix by hand, microwaving it for 8-10 seconds softens it enough to mix easily. No need to soften if using a blender to mix.
