Bubbly Orangeade

Pro tips

• Thaw concentrate completely before mixing to ensure even flavor distribution.
• Add club soda last to preserve carbonation — stir gently to avoid flattening.
• Chill all ingredients and glassware beforehand for maximum refreshment.
• Adjust the concentrate-to-soda ratio to your taste preference for sweeter or lighter results.

Substitutions

• Club soda → ginger ale or lemon-lime soda (adds flavor dimension)
• Frozen concentrate → fresh-squeezed orange juice (less sweet, more natural)

Storage & make-ahead

Best consumed immediately after mixing. Pre-chilled ingredients can be stored separately in the refrigerator up to one week.

Can I use fresh orange juice instead of concentrate?

Yes, but the flavor will be less concentrated. Use about 1/2 cup fresh orange juice and reduce club soda slightly to maintain balance.

How much does this recipe make?

This ratio makes approximately one serving or small drink. Scale proportionally: 4 tsp concentrate to 3/4 cup soda per serving.

Should the ingredients be chilled?

Chilling both the concentrate and club soda before mixing yields the best cold, refreshing result.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Mix just before serving to preserve carbonation. Pre-chill your ingredients and glasses instead.
