Variations

- If you like a sweeter drink, try orange soda in place of the sparkling water.
- Blue Curacao and Sprite - little less orange flavor and a hint of lemon-lime tartness.
- Like drinks a little less fruity - switch out the sparkling water for plain soda water and add just a touch of orange juice.
- Go fancy by switching the sparkling water for champagne. You can add a touch more orange juice to keep the same flavor profile.
