Preparation
  1. Start by juicing your fresh oranges until you have about 2 cups of delicious orange juice. Remove any seeds you might find for a smoother drink.
  2. In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice with the sparkling water or club soda. Stir gently to combine without losing too much fizz.
  3. Take your favorite serving glasses and fill them with ice cubes to keep your mocktail chilled.
  4. Slowly pour the orange juice and sparkling water mixture into each glass over the ice.
  5. Add an orange slice to the rim of each glass for a festive touch. If you'd like to elevate the presentation further, add a sprig of fresh mint leaves as well!
  6. Enjoy your refreshing Sparkling Orange Juice Mocktail immediately, and relish in the joyful reactions from your family and friends!

Notes

Best enjoyed fresh. The orange juice can be made in advance and stored, but add sparkling water just before serving to maintain fizz. Consider freezing mint leaves or small fruit slices in your ice cubes for extra flair.
