- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1/4 cup sparkling water or club soda
- 2 tbsp grenadine syrup
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional for extra tang)
- Ice cubes, as needed
- Orange slices and fresh mint leaves for garnish
Preparation Steps
- Prepare your glass: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes to keep the drink chilled.
- Add orange juice: Pour the freshly squeezed orange juice into the glass, filling it halfway.
