bonus tips:

• this recipe has no ice. i do not like when ice melts in my drink and waters it down. to avoid the need for ice, place the oranges, grapefruit, mint, and lemonade in the refrigerator until completely chilled. then make the drink!

• look for sparkling pink lemonade that has all the fizz with the least amount of unnatural ingredients (for example, inverted sugar).

• the sparking pink lemonade goes first to ensure your entire drink gets fizzed throughout. you do not need to stir or mix your drink once poured.

• the overhead picture shows 1 cup of liquid in the larger measuring cup. i know. i lost one of my measuring cups one day when it broke and cut my hand. to save money and kitchen space, i never replaced it. you can mix the 1/2 cup of lemonade with the 1/2 cup of orange juice together in a measuring cup first.
