Ingredients
- •1 orange
- •1 liter vodka
- •3/4 cup filtered water
- •3/4 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- 1
Wash the unpeeled orange thoroughly and pierce it all over with a knife to release its oils and a little juice.
- 2
Pour all the vodka into a tall glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.
- 3
Cover the mouth of the open jar with pieces of gauze, fine netting, or thin cloth, making sure they are strong enough to support the orange's weight.
- 4
Push the fabric down slightly into the mouth of the jar to form a sling, then place the orange in it and adjust its position.
- 5
Hold the edges of the fabric firmly and screw on the lid so that the orange remains suspended.
- 6
Leave the jar in a well-ventilated place away from sunlight for at least 2 months. Remove the fabric and the orange, then close the jar again.
- 7
Heat the water and sugar, stirring well, until the mixture boils, the sugar dissolves completely, and a syrup forms.
- 8
Add the sugar syrup to the vodka in the jar, close the lid, and leave to rest for another week.

After a week of allowing the flavors to blend, transfer the liqueur to a bottle. It is now ready to drink.
