The perfect easy Orange Martini is made with vodka, triple sec, and fresh orange juice! This is the perfect easy homemade martini recipe.
If you love orange juice and lemon drops, then you’ll LOVE this orange martini recipe. Same concept – different flavors!
Every January my neighbors bring me a huge bag of oranges from their tree, so every year I make tons of orange flavored recipes. I’ve made orange pound cake and orange chicken, orange frosting and orange dream bars and now I’m adding an Orange Martini to that list!
It’s so fun to make new vodka martini flavors!
And Orange Martini is an easy cocktail recipe made with vodka and orange juice.
I always prefer making vodka martinis, but if you prefer you can make these into orange gin martinis. Vodka is my clear alcohol of choice, unless I’m making something Hawaiian (and even then I’ll add vodka and make a martini).
Since I live in Northern California, January is mandarin season. I’m close to the foothills where they grow all the mandarins (for the country, I assume) and they’re everywhere this time of year. That’s why this is, technically, a Mandarin Orange Martini, but you can use your favorite oranges. I think a blood orange martini would be amazing!

Orange Martini Ingredients
It’s really easy and you just need a few ingredients:
- Use your favorite brand of vodka. You can even use orange vodka if you can find it (they sell it at liquor stores).
- Triple Sec, which is an orange liqueur (like Cointreau).
- Fresh orange juice really takes this cocktail to the next level.
- Simple syrup is added to taste. How much simple syrup you add really depends on how sweet you like your cocktails.
This easy Orange Martini is light and sweet and crisp and the perfect refreshing fruity martini recipe!
Making a Martini
Martinis are the easiest things ever to make – just assemble all your ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake and pour!
If you’re looking for something to do with some oranges – or you love lemon drop martinis, this is the cocktail for you!

Smooth and easy to drink with a nice kick!
Excellent. A dinner guest and I had it last night. We both loved it.
Newbie just starting out.
Question 1 : O.K. so I have my 2:1 ratio of Vodka & pure Orange juice & ice, (maybe 3:1 upon further trial after a trial time, at the ready.
My plan is to involve it somewhere with Dry Martini being the primary flavoured ingredient. First & foremost, exactly how much for true blend balance should the Martini be placed, in the Martini Shaker or in the final glass with ice?
Question 2: How do I make a Vodka Martini. 3:1 ratio…. yes??
Please answer back thanks 🙂
You can make the ratios what is listed in the ingredients. To make ahead – it really depends on your glass size. If it fits 4 ounces, measure that out and shake etc.
It started from not having my usual mixer. I just happened to have these ingredients and I also had a small cup of mandarins, I put those in to soak in the vodka to eat them afterwards. I made a cocktail that I’m enjoying right now. I realize it’s suppose to be a martini, I’ll try that next drink.
This was ok to use up oranges but I prefer lemon drop
