Review:

This drink can be pretty strong, but you can taste it and then add more of the non-alcoholic ingredients to make it less intense if you’d like. You can also use a drop or two of red or yellow food coloring to adjust the color of the drink to your desired shade of orange. Overall the drink was quite refreshing and delicious — and very easy to make!
