Orange Lime Mocktail Ingredients
- 2 Cups Limeade (I use Simply Limeade)
- 3/4 Cup Orange Juice (I prefer no-pulp)

- 1 Cup Club Soda
- Limes for Garnish and Added Flavor

Orange Lime Mocktail Instructions
Serving Size- 4 Mocktails
Add 2 cups of limeade to a pretty glass pitcher or cocktail container. Then, pour orange juice, club soda, and simple syrup into the limeade juice. Note- To make the simple syrup, place equal parts of water and sugar in a small pot. You can use 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of sugar. As the water is heating up, mix in the sugar using a whisk until it dissolves. Bring the sugar water to a boil and then turn off the heat and let it cool. Allow the simple syrup to cool to room temperature before adding it to the orange and lime mocktail. Mix well.
Use a lime wedge and coat the brim of the glasses with juice. Sprinkle sugar, salt, and lime zest on a plate, mix, and dip the brim of the glasses into the mixture for a pretty embellishment.
Add a large scoopful of ice to each of the glasses and pour the sweet orange and lime mocktail into your favorite glass goblets.
Garnish with extra lime wedges. and squeeze the sour juice in each of the glasses if you prefer a stronger tart taste.
Orange and Lime Blended Mocktail
If you want to really layer in the fun, you can pour the mocktail mixture in a blender. along with the ice and blend to make one of the most delicious frozen lime mocktail summer drinks you ever did taste.
Fresh and Fun Mocktail Ideas
If you’d like to add a splash of alcohol to the mix, you can pour in 2 ounces of your favorite tequila into each individual glass.
Feel free to add a scoop of orange or lime sorbet for extra color, and yummy flavor.
For a healthier version of the orange lime mocktail, consider using monk fruit sweetener in your simple syrup, and on the brim of your glasses.
