Notes
Fresh juice makes a big difference in taste compared to store-bought. Choose ripe, sweet oranges.
Store leftover juice in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
Don't mix ingredients ahead of time - combine just before serving to keep the bubbles fresh.
A 4:1 ratio creates a stronger drink, while a 2:1 ratio makes a lighter version.
