About the Recipe
Done and Dusted is light, fizzy, and citrus-forward — a refreshing little reward with a wink of sophistication. I made this after finally putting away that pile of clean laundry that had been mocking me for a week. Felt like a small miracle.

1 oz lemon juice
1 oz orange juice
1 oz vodka (or sparkling water for mocktail)

Ice

Tips
Zero-proof: Skip vodka and use flavored sparkling water + orange twist.
Bitters-free version: Use a squeeze of grapefruit instead.
Elevate it: Salt the rim or add a sugar rim — make it festive.
Pair with: Decluttered drawer, mopped floor, or a tiny dance break.
