Instructions
- Start by gathering all the ingredients: fresh orange juice, sparkling water, simple syrup, ice cubes, and orange slices for garnish.

- Pour the orange juice and simple syrup mixture evenly into the prepared glasses, filling them about halfway.
- Top each glass with 1 cup of sparkling water, pouring gently to maintain the fizz.
- Using a spoon or straw, stir the drink lightly to combine the ingredients without losing too much carbonation.
- Garnish each drink with a slice of orange on the rim of the glass for a decorative touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Orange Spritzer Drink Up!
Tips
- Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the most vibrant flavor—store-bought works, but fresh is always best!
- Chill your glasses beforehand to keep the drink extra cool and refreshing.
- For a more elegant presentation, use clear glasses to showcase the beautiful orange color.
- Experiment with different citrus slices like blood orange or mandarin for unique garnish variations.
- If you want a less sweet version, reduce the simple syrup or use a sugar-free alternative.
- Serve immediately after preparation to maintain the sparkling water's carbonation and freshness.
- For an adult version, you can add a splash of vodka or prosecco to make it a cocktail.
