Base Juice (choose one)
Optional additions
Method
If serving Orange Juice
Juice the oranges
Roll the oranges on the counter to loosen juice. Cut in half and use a manual or electric juicer to extract juice until you have about 1 cup (approx. 3 medium oranges). Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a mixing pitcher if you prefer pulp-free juice.
Adjust sweetness (optional)
Taste the orange juice. If you prefer it sweeter, stir in up to 1 teaspoon simple syrup until dissolved.
Serve
Fill a serving glass with ice cubes (about 1 cup). Pour the orange juice over the ice. Garnish with a lemon or lime wedge and mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately.
If serving Blackcurrant Juice
Prepare blackcurrant drink
Measure 1/4 cup blackcurrant cordial into a pitcher. Add 3/4 cup cold water and stir vigorously until the cordial is fully diluted and uniform in color. Taste and, if too concentrated, add small increments of water; if too tart, stir in up to 1 teaspoon simple syrup.
Chill and serve
Fill a serving glass with ice cubes (about 1 cup). Pour the diluted blackcurrant juice over the ice. Garnish with mint leaves and a lemon or lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately.
