Naranjada (Sparkling Orange Agua Fresca)
A naranjada is a fizzy agua fresca made with freshly squeezed orange juice, sugar, and mineral or sparkling water.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces orange juice freshly squeezed, from about 4-6 oranges
- 24 ounces mineral water or sparkling water
- simple syrup to taste
Instructions
- Cut each orange in half, and then extract the juice. Be sure to remove any seeds.
- Fill glasses halfway with ice, mix in a 1:2 ratio with one part freshly squeezed orange juice to two parts mineral water. For example, you would mix 4 ounces of orange juice with about 8-9 ounces of mineral water. To preserve the fizziness of this drink, mix it with the mineral or sparkling water just before serving.
- Add simple syrup (or your sweetener of choice), to taste. Start with one tablespoon at a time until drink reaches desired sweetness.
- Mix well and enjoy immediately.
A Note from Lola
Please keep in mind that the nutritional content (sugar, specifically) may vary based on the amount of simple syrup or sweetener you use to sweeten your naranjada. Try it without sugar first, you may like it as-is!
