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. :)
