Better Orange Juice

Summer Squeeze Series pt. I

Whether you’re hosting this summer and all your friends have become sober-curious, or you’re just trying to stay more hydrated in the summer months, I’ve got a little summer drink series here for you (because y’all been asking).

🍊

This is the kingpin. I make it for everyone that stays in my house and 11/10 times they request the recipe. I make it every morning and, on mornings when I don’t have time, I have a pre-batched bottle waiting for me in the fridge.

🍊

For those of you who have been here for a minute, you may remember Sunshine Water of a couple years ago. Be sure to check out the other two juices in the summer squeeze series: watermelon & lemon.

what you need

1 whole orange, roughly peeled

1 generous knob of fresh ginger root, roughly peeled

1 generous knob of turmeric root, roughly peeled

1 pinch of high-mineral sea salt

1 tablespoon of freshly ground black pepper <– necessary

~24oz spring water

(optional) can sweeten with local, raw honey if your orange isn’t sweet enough for you.

how to make it

Method: blending

Utensil: single-serve blender apparatus, small mesh sieve, funnel

Put everything in the blender. Blend it.

In this order on your counter: Cup > Funnel > Strainer > Juice. Use a spoon to move the pulp around and ensure all the juice drains into your vessel.

Discard the pulp. Enjoy the juice. It will keep in the fridge for 3-5 days if you want to make in advance.

Sprinkled Lemonade!

and other announcements…

“if it costs you your peace, it’s too expensive”

paolo coehlo

what you need

4″ chunk of fresh, juicy watermelon

1-2 strawberries

1 oz lemon juice

2 tablespoons sugar

2 oz vodka

2 oz water

(optional) sprinkles

**but, really, when are sprinkles ever optional?

🍉🍓🍉

how to make it

Muddle the watermelon, strawberries, lemon juice, and sugar together in a cocktail shaker.

Add the vodka and water. Shake vigorously with ice until frothy.

Rim a coup or cocktail glass with lemon juice and dip into sprinkles of choice. Strain the cocktail into the glass and top with a paper thin strawberry slice.

Tips! Use other fruit (like raspberries). Let the melon, berries, vodka, lemon juice, and sugar soak for 20 minutes before making the cocktail for stronger flavors. Make it frozen by blending frozen watermelon chunks with all ingredients and adding water and/or plant-based milk as desired.

There are some big things “happening at OneandahalfSlices this year. I know, I know… I’ve been quiet. I’ve been absent. I’ve been exploring. More than just The Balkans, it turns out.

I’ve been going through a pink phase (well, it’s really more of a rose phase, but nevermind). I’ve been going through a sprinkle phase. And I’ve been trying to figure out how to love. my. day. Because in the space between a global pandemic and a PhD, I forgot how.

So I’m planning a transition. A transition out of my full time job, into good vibes – to make space, to get deliberate and slow, to be quiet, to travel, to require less, to live more, to love deeply, to discover without seeking, to find what is around me without looking forward, to relinquish progress to make room for natural energy, curiosity, and strength.

Merigold Analytics and OneandahalfSlices come together in a meaningful way around flavor, health, and authenticity.

So stick with us friends, colleagues, vibe seekers, wanderlusts, gamers, thalassophiles, entrepreneurs, and our nation’s youth… we’re about to get vibey.
