Orange Melody

SUMMER is here with a bang and it's time to go on a liquid diet to quench your thirst and keep your cool! So go ahead and beat the summer heat with this refreshing cooler made with orange juice, a hint of ginger, lime, ice and some fizz.

What you need:

2 cups orange juice
1 cup ginger-lime cordial
Ice cubes
500 ml soda, chilled
Sprigs of mint

Combine orange juice and ginger-lime cordial and keep chilled. To serve, fill half a glass with the prepared mix. Add 3 - 4 cubes of ice and top up with soda. Garnish with a sprig of mint.

Makes about 6 glasses.

PS: If you don't fancy the fizz, simply substitute the soda with cold water. You can even convert it into a delightful cocktail ....laced with vodka - 30 ml, 45 ml, 60 ml?? If after a few you're still sober, three cheers to you! If not, you'll still be forgiven if you've misspelled Orange Melody as Orange Malady!! Cheers!!!
