Instructions

Add multiple pieces of ice to the chilled Highball glass. Build the ingredients (except the Soda water) into the chilled Highball glass. Stir gently. Add the Soda water. Garnish with the Lemon slice, and the Orange slice.

Notes

A refreshing long drink popular in the Netherlands. Build over a full glass of ice: pour the soda water first, then add the lemon juice and Licor 43, and stir gently. The order keeps the carbonation and creates a subtle gradient before stirring. See more three ingredient cocktails.

About the ingredients

Soda water: Carbonated water (also known as soda water, sparkling water, fizzy water, club soda, water with gas or (especially in the U.S.) as seltzer or seltzer water) is water containing dissolved carbon dioxide gas, either artificially injected under pressure or occurring due to natural geological processes. Carbonation causes small bubbles to form, giving the water an effervescent quality. Common forms include sparkling natural mineral water, club soda, and commercially-produced sparkling water.
Licor 43: Licor 43, or Cuarenta y Tres (Spanish for '43'), is a Spanish liqueur, made in Cartagena, Spain. History Licor 43 was invented in 1946 by the siblings Diego, Angel, and Josefina Zamora, along with Emilio Restoy, Josefina's husband. The Licor 43 website states they based their recipe on the Liqvor Mirabilis (marvellous liquid), a golden, aromatic elixir produced and infused from local fruits and herbs in Carthago Nova during the 3rd century. Liqvor Mirabilis was encountered by the Romans, when they conquered the region in 209 BC; despite the Romans banning its production and consumption, the Carthaginians continued producing in secret. This legend served as the inspiration for the Zamoras' invention of Licor 43. The name of the modern-day liqueur originates from its use of 43 different ingredients; while its recipe is a closely guarded secret by the Zamora family, it is known to contain citrus and fruit juices, and to be flavoured with vanilla, among other aromatic herbs and spices.
