Recipe Review; Orange Lemonade

This is a super nice summer time drink. Tangy and sweet. Lemonade, with a orangey twist.
I would definitely make this again. Grandma Lulu said it was wonderful and Grandpa Bob said "Great for a hot summer day" and that he would prefer it over a coke or pepsi, I took that as a compliment. :)

It was very good, and very convenient. You can make the syrup, put it in the fridge, and mix some up when ever you feel like it! :)
