The Balalika cocktail gets its name from the traditional Russian stringed instrument, which is known for its lively and energetic sound. Just like the instrument, this cocktail is full of vibrant flavors that will surely make any party come alive.
To make the Balalika cocktail, start by gathering all the ingredients. You will need vodka, orange liqueur, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Once you have everything ready, fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add 1 ½ ounces of vodka, ½ ounce of orange liqueur, ½ ounce of lemon juice, and ½ ounce of simple syrup.
Next, shake the mixture vigorously for about 15 seconds. This will help to chill the drink and combine all the flavors together. Once you're done shaking, strain the cocktail into a chilled glass. You can use a martini glass or a highball glass, depending on your preference.
Finally, garnish the Balalika cocktail with a lemon twist or a slice of orange to add a touch of freshness and visual appeal. The citrusy aroma from the garnish will complement the flavors of the drink perfectly.
