Paradise in a Glass: Citrus Chill

 

Escape the Grind, One Sip at a Time

Raise your hand if you’ve ever dreamed of quitting your job, moving to a beach hut, and spending your days sipping cocktails under the sun. (It’s okay, we’ve all been there.) While reality may tether you to the grind, the Citrus Chill is here to deliver paradise—no passport required.

This zesty concoction doesn’t just quench your thirst—it’s like a citrusy slap in the face that screams, "Wake up, sunshine! You’re fabulous!" It’s refreshing, vibrant, and packs just the right amount of buzz to keep you floating through life’s ridiculousness.

What’s in a Citrus Chill?

  1. 2 oz vodka

  2. 1 oz fresh orange juice

  3. 1/2 oz lemon juice

  4. 1/2 oz simple syrup

  5. 1 oz grapefruit soda

  6. Ice cubes

Instructions:

  1. Grab your fanciest cocktail shaker (or a protein shaker—no judgment here).

  2. Combine vodka, orange juice, lemon juice, and simple syrup with a hefty handful of ice.

  3. Shake like you’re working off that passive-aggressive email from your boss.

  4. Strain into a tall glass over fresh ice and top it off with grapefruit soda.

  5. Garnish with an orange slice or lemon twist because you’re classy like that.

Citrus Chill is Your New BFF

This cocktail is the drinkable equivalent of “treat yourself.” It’s zesty, vibrant, and bubbly—everything you aspire to be at brunch. Plus, it’s dangerously easy to make, which means you can whip it up in minutes when your in-laws are two seconds away from ringing the doorbell.

Pair it with good company, bad decisions, or just an hour of Netflix and chill (yes, the actual chilling part). No matter what, the Citrus Chill is here to remind you that even when life gives you lemons, vodka makes everything better.

So, shake one up and toast to surviving another day in the circus. Cheers to you, legend. 🥂
