- 1 1/2 cups gin
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon angostura bitters

- Peel and partition orange segments removing as much as the white pith as possible. Place in a medium size bowl and dice oranges. Crush with a meat tenderizer or potato masher releasing the juice from the oranges. Strain the juice through a small colander into a clean small bowl. With a spoon press down on the skins of the oranges to expel as much as the juice as possible. Throw away the remaining flesh. Stir in gin, sugar and bitters into the juice. Strain again using a small sieve or cheese cloth into a 2 cup measuring cup. Chill for 4 hours.
