Story

This is such a refreshing drink. The fresh squeezed orange juice alone would be great, but when you mix in the lime and mint, it becomes a very cooling beverage on a hot summer day.
You'll notice there is no soft drink in this recipe, making it a much healthier beverage for anyone watching their diet. You can cut back on the sugar or use a sugar substitute if you wish. And, if the oranges are sweet enough, you may even be able to omit the sugar entirely. Taste before you add it.
