Orange Spritzer

Orange Spritzer is a super easy, refreshing non-alcoholic drink that will leave you wanting more with every sip. It's the perfect blend of Juice and Fizz with the right balance of tart and sweet. This citrusy, refreshing drink is surely a must-have for parties and picnics.

Spritzers are usually made of wine and carbonated or sparkling water. In Non-alcoholic ones, the wine is replaced with juice instead.

You can make this Orange Spritzer as simple as Orange juice and sparkling water, or make the flavors intense by mixing a few drinks as I did for this recipe.

For this recipe, I have mixed Orange juice, lemonade, a lemon-lime-flavored soft drink, and sparkling water. I personally like the tartness the lemonade adds, along with a hint of sweetness and the fizz of a lemon-lime-flavored soft drink. The proportions mentioned can be adjusted to your taste.

I made this drink for my daughter's 3rd Birthday celebration, and I got so many compliments for it. Many loved that it was not overly aerated yet had the fizz. People like me, who are not too much into aerated drinks or even otherwise, are surely going to love this citrusy drink.

Notes

Tips If Your Orange Spritzer Tastes Too Tart

Citrus juices and lemonade can vary in sweetness, always taste the drink before serving and adjust as needed.

• Add simple syrup: Start with ¼ cup or less simple syrup for a full pitcher, stir, and taste. Add more only if needed.
• Add more orange juice: This helps soften the lemony sharpness while keeping the drink fresh and citrusy.
• Add more Sprite: If you want a sweeter, fizzier drink, add ½ cup at a time until it tastes balanced.
• Use less sparkling water: Too much sparkling water can make the tartness feel sharper. Start with 2 cups and add more only if needed.
• Add a pinch of salt: A tiny pinch helps round out the citrus flavor and balance the sour notes.
• Serve chilled: This drink tastes best cold. Chill all the ingredients ahead of time and add ice just before serving so it stays refreshing without getting diluted.

Best quick fix: For a full pitcher, stir in couple of tablespoons to ¼ cup simple syrup and ½ cup Sprite, then taste and adjust from there.
