Number Of Ingredients 6

Ice cubes
1/2 teaspoon Truvia natural sweetener
6 tablespoons vodka
2 1/2 teaspoons orange liqueur, such as Triple Sec
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (from about 2 oranges)
1 (2-inch) piece orange zest

Steps:

  • Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add Truvia, vodka, orange liqueur, and orange juice; shake to combine.
  • Hold a lit match over an empty highball glass and squeeze the zest, skin side down, over the match. The oil from the zest should ignite and fall into glass. Wrap zest around a skewer or a toothpick; set aside.
  • Fill glass with ice, strain cocktail into glass. Garnish with skewered zest.
