It's vitamin C with a smile! This beverage is yummy any time of year! It's the perfect drink on a hot summer day, BBQ cookout, as well as Sunday football and/or your next New Year's party. Whatever the occasion, this drink is a fresh beverage crowd pleaser. Without a doubt, my press juicer gets a workout when friends and family come over. Just give it a try!

Cook's Note:

Roll 2 room temperature Valencia oranges on the counter, applying light pressure, which loosens the juice from within the orange. Try not to break or crack the orange rind in the rolling process. Cut both oranges in half and place in press juicer or twist juicer. Two juiced Valencia oranges provides a yield of approximately 1 cup.
