Orangeade takes me back to my childhood and a hot dog restaurant in downtown Cincinnati that served the best orangeade ever. I made half a recipe but thought the orange flavor was just a little too diluted. I added the juice from another two oranges which brought the right balance between the water and the orange flavor. I thought this recipe was a little sweet, so next time I will reduce the sugar. I definitely will make again and maybe even try Splenda to reduce the calories. Nice change from all the lemonade, limeade, ice tea that I drink in summer. Whatever happened to restaurants serving orangeade???
I had a lot of fresh oranges and this was a good way to use then other than just juice. I did double the orange juice and added more lemon to taste. Very refreshing drink.
I didn't really care for the final result but my husband thought it was great. He said that it could have relied more on the orange flavor. I will definitely make this again possibly with the addition of more orange juice.
This was really diluted and I like many others had to add a bunch of orange to get the orange juice flavor. I also added more sugar.
I appreciate lutzflcat's advice to add two more oranges and less sugar because it gave a 4 star recipe a 5 star rating boost!! Thank you for the wonderful idea of orangeade as a refreshing alternative to standard summertime beverages couldbeanyone!! Yum!!
It was so refreshing my brothers loved it.I will definitely make it again.it was great!
1 1/2 cups of sugar sounded like a lot so I made it with only one cup of sugar. It still came out way too sweet. I should have used half a cup or less.
It was awesome I felt like I was going back to my childhood my mom makes this every year on my birthday it is awesome!!
My husband had some orangeade at a local restaurant and asked me to make some. I initially made this recipe as written (a 4-star recipe) and thought the orange flavor was on the weak side as others mentioned. I added the juice of 2 additional oranges as suggested by others and refrigerated it overnight. My husband tried it the next morning and thought it was perfect.
