]]> Bubbly Orange Mocktail https://blog.mymilitarysavings.com/bubbly-orange-mocktail/ Sun, 20 Oct 2024 14:50:00 +0000 https://blog.mymilitarysavings.com/?p=29933 The weather is changing here in South Texas which means we can finally sit outside and enjoy the nice fall breeze. I am always searching for a good mocktail, so I decided to try this one out. This mocktail combined two of my favorite drinks – orange juice and no sugar lemon-lime soda. I made a whole pitcher of this drink, because my husband loved the taste of this mocktail! The best part, is that it is super simple to make. Just combine all the ingredients and serve over ice. 

Ingredients:

  • 4 oz. Orange Juice
  • 2 oz. No Sugar Lemon-Lime Soda
  • 2 oz. Club Soda
  • ice

Directions:

  1. Combine first 3 ingredients and stir with a mini whisk.
  2. Add ice.
  3. Enjoy!

Notes:

  • You can always use a regular Lemon-Lime Soda
  • You can garnish with a dried orange wheel.
  • You may even want to experiment with other juices too?!?!

This drink is so refreshing and it was the perfect porch side drink for us while the kids played outside. I was going to put in oranges, but when you live in a house with two kids that love fruit, sometimes it disappears before you can use it.  Either way, I know you will enjoy this mocktail, especially after a long day at work. It was the perfect ending to a stressful week.
