1–2 drops vanilla extract (optional)
Ice (enough to fill a glass)
Splash of sparkling water (optional)

Using the back of a spoon, slowly pour the cold brew over the orange juice to create a layered effect.
Add a drop or two of vanilla extract, if using.
Top with a splash of sparkling water for fizz, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
