Hey Hellooo… It’s Spring already and I’m all set to welcome the Summer party anytime now! My cocktail glasses are out, spirits lined up, and there you go… Hands down to one of my favorite cocktail drinks; an Orange Lime Crush – Citrusy, Boozy, n Fizzy! I bet for the extreme heat now back home in Kerala(my hometown), this drink would be a best-seller!!

I personally prefer freshly squeezed orange juice over store bought ones, but either ways work for this drink. Although my recipe calls for a spoonful of sugar, you might want to check the sweetness before adding any, especially when using store bought juices as they tend to be sweet already.

If you are not big into cocktails, then do check out my Refreshing Orange Mint Mocktail for which I have received rave reviews and is an all-time favorite!

Cheers!!!!

This drink has everything you need; sweet oranges, tangy lemons, refreshing mint, and all the fizziness from the soda. A great welcome drink for your parties or a cooler during your summers, n equally loved by adults and kids…

The key to this recipe is the overnight preparation which allows the flavour to extract from the orange slices and mint leaves, and the last minute addition of soda to retain the fizz.

So here I give you my first drink recipe of Pepper Delight – an Orange Mint Mocktail… Enjoy…!!!
