How to make it

4 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Squeeze the juice from the 2 oranges

    Squeeze the juice from the 2 oranges into a small pitcher or glass.

  2. Add the 2 tablespoons of sugar

    Add the 2 tablespoons of sugar to the orange juice and stir vigorously until the sugar is completely dissolved.

  3. Fill two glasses

    Fill two glasses with ice cubes.

  4. Divide the sweetened orange juice between the two glasses

    Divide the sweetened orange juice between the two glasses, then top with 300ml (1 1/4 cups) of chilled sparkling water. Stir gently to combine without losing the fizz.

A little kitchen wisdom

For a more intense flavor, you can simmer the orange juice with the sugar first to create a light syrup, then cool before adding sparkling water. Use blood oranges for a 'Aranciata Rossa' variation.

Keep the good going

For now. And for later.

Make it ahead

You can juice the oranges and mix with sugar up to 24 hours in advance. Add sparkling water only when ready to serve.

Store & enjoy

Best consumed immediately. Once sparkling water is added, it will lose carbonation quickly.
