Ingredients
Scale
- 4 fresh oranges, juiced (about 1 cup)
- 1 cup peach nectar
- 2 cups sparkling water
- 2 tablespoons honey (adjust to taste)
- A handful of fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
- Ice cubes, as needed
Instructions
- Juice the oranges to get about 1 cup of fresh juice. Optionally strain for a smoother texture.
- In a large pitcher, combine the orange juice and peach nectar. Stir well.
- Add honey to the mixture and stir until fully dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Gently bruise the mint leaves to release oils, then add them to the pitcher and stir.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the orange-peach mixture into each, about two-thirds full.
- Top with sparkling water for fizz, pouring slowly to create bubbles.
- Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and serve immediately.
Notes
Use ripe, heavy oranges for the juiciest flavor. Raw honey adds depth compared to processed honey. Always add sparkling water just before serving to maintain fizz.
