Notes
This recipe is very flexible. You can try these variations:
Replace orange juice with blood orange juice for a deeper color and flavor.
Use honey instead of simple syrup for a different sweetness.
Add a splash of grenadine for a sunset effect.
Keep the orange blossom water to a minimum, as its flavor can be strong. Store any leftover mocktail in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but it's best enjoyed fresh. For a party, you can make a large batch in a pitcher. Just add the club soda right before serving to keep the fizz.
