Orange Lemonade - Summer Drink

Orange lemonade is basically a fusion non-alcoholic summer drink made with orange flavor. Fresh orange juice along with lemonade makes it so good.

Lemonade is a sweet and sour drink that is ample to quench the thirst on hot summer days. Adding any fruit juice or fruit infusion doubles the nutrition part also. So it becomes the healthier summer drink.

Ditch the store-bought aerated drinks that dehydrate the body even more and choose the healthier drink like this orange lemonade.

I love fruits in all forms. And especially in the summer season, we crave such cooling refreshing drinks when the temperature is at its peak with all the humid weather outside.

Why you will love this orange lemonade?

In the summer season with increasing temperature, our body tends to dehydrate. So we should drink as much liquid as possible and keep our bodies well hydrated. So drink water, juices, smoothies, etc.

Sugar keeps our energy level up whereas fruit juice and water rehydrate our body and keeps us cool. And gives us nourishment in hot summers.

A way better and healthier than store-bought cold beverages.

You can customize the drink as per taste or need.

Easy and quick to prepare. Prepare the simple syrup and store it in the refrigerator for 1 - 2 weeks and whenever you need to make the drink, take out to taste.

I have added a sprig of mint leaves crushed to the lemonade.

Ingredients -

Orange Juice - freshly squeezed orange juice for best taste. Alternatively, you can also use concentrated orange juice. I prefer the fresh orange juice for this lemonade.

Sugar syrup - as taste. Substitutes are honey, maple syrup, or stevia. Sugar syrup is a mixture of sugar and water. An equal amount of sugar and water is simmered until only all sugar melts. Then this is cooled to room temperature.

Lemon - Freshly squeezed lemon juice or concentrated lemon juice

Water/ Sparkling Water - Can also make this with club soda

Ice - lots of ice cubes to serve chilled

Mint leaves - this is optional though. mint adds a nice cool minty flavor to the drink.
