The missing link I never knew that OJ futures as a trading commodity existed, I thought it was just a consumable product. Anyway I would say that morddwyd should rest easy and carry on with vodka & orange, vodka's horrid with tonic, that only works with gin. A few drop of Angostura bitters in either with the OJ improves both no end.

"I never knew that OJ futures as a trading commodity existed"

The whole plot of the excellent film "Trading Places" is based on OJ futures.

I seem to recall when Florida in the good ol' USA had a disaster with their citrus fruit harvesting, and how that was going to effect the world. Surprising how the same commodity can be sourced elsewhere, and a few can make large profits on a scare rumour?.

Providing extra additives to Vodka, is like adding extra water to whisky (whiskey) ;o)

When tasting a new whisky I always try it neat, then with a few drops of tap water. With a good whisky the flavour profile can change dramatically when a little water is added.

In a bar I will normally ask for a single ice cube in whisky, so as it dissolves the flavour alters gradually.

As for those who say you should never add water to whisky, how do you think the distilleries get the whisky from the cask strength of 55-60% down to the more exchequer friendly 40%?
