Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh oranges and limes. If you don't have fresh citrus, you can use bottled or frozen juice, but the flavor will be less bright.
  • If you don't have Grand Marnier, you can use another orange liqueur such as Cointreau or triple sec. You can also use a combination of orange juice and brandy.
  • If you don't have simple syrup, you can make your own by dissolving 1 cup of sugar in 1 cup of boiling water. Let it cool completely before using.
  • To make the sour mix ahead of time, simply combine all of the ingredients in a jar or bottle and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • To make the Triple Orange Sour, simply combine all of the ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds, then strain into a coupe glass.
  • Garnish with an orange twist or a maraschino cherry.

Conclusion:

The Triple Orange Sour is a refreshing and flavorful cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a delicious and refreshing cocktail, give the Triple Orange Sour a try.
