Orange Mocktail

       Here in WI its still warm Winter only but I started making summer drinks for My Summer Splash event :) Last week when i searched for some mocktails/summer drinks i got to know more interesting mocktail recipes. In the line, first coming Orange Mocktail from Sharmis Passion. This is really really so refreshing and yummy drink. A perfect thirst quencher too, one of the best drink for Summer. I little tweaked or i could say adjusted with my available ingredients. For this recipe, i used fresh Navel Oranges and Lemon Soda(Sprite) both turned amazingly so good and we enjoyed it. My kids were so attracted by the color and especially the straw :) And Yesterday many of you also liked it r?!... i bought it in Dollar Tree, Easter Collections.

Ingredients

1. Fresh Orange Juice     1 cup ( 3 oranges)
2. Lemon Soda (Sprite)    1/4 cup
3. Water    1/4 cup
4. Sugar    1 tsp (i didn't add sugar, still it tasted so good)
5. Crushed ice - As needed

While taking pictures, The Sun God was Playing Hide N Seek :) its dull and again shines brightly but somehow i managed to take some pictures n  i liked my pictures more, that's y more pictures today...Hope U too like it :)

Method

• Wash oranges thoroughly, then cut in to two halves and squeeze using juicer and filter the juice alone using tea filter.
• Add water n sugar now mix well, then add soda stir well.
• That's it..Pour in to the serving glasses and serve with crushed ice.
• Decorate with Lemon slice.

I am happy to send this recipe to the events, Kalyani's Kitchen Chronicle - Summer Splash Happening Here , Ramya's abc series - Fruit Fiesta, Beat the Heat happening @ My Cook Book, Sobha' Just 4 Fun. and to the event Summer Spirit happening @ Tomato Blues.

Notes:
If u don't have lemon soda, you can use fresh lemon juice 1-2 tbsp.
Adjust sugar/soda based on the sweetness n sour of oranges, the oranges i used was sweet n less sour n lemon soda matches perfectly.
