Instructions
Preparation
Here are the steps to make Jack-O-Lantern Juice:
Step 1: In a large pitcher, combine the orange juice, pineapple juice, and lemon juice. Stir well to mix the flavors.
Step 2: If you like your drink sweeter, add 1 tablespoon of honey and stir until it dissolves completely.
Step 3: Slowly pour in the club soda, giving the juice a light fizz. Stir gently to maintain the carbonation.
Step 4: Add a few drops of orange food coloring if desired to make the juice more vibrant.
Step 5: Fill glasses with ice cubes, then pour the Jack-O-Lantern Juice over the ice.
Step 6: Garnish each glass with an orange slice and a few mint leaves. For an extra Halloween touch, you can hang candy corn or a gummy worm off the side of the glass.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness of the juice based on your preference. If the orange and pineapple juices are naturally sweet, you may not need to add honey.
- For a stronger citrus flavor, use freshly squeezed juices instead of store-bought options.
- The club soda should be added just before serving to keep the drink fizzy.
