Notes
- Can you make a big batch?In order to give the drink the layered look, you can’t really mix a big batch. It’s better to pour each drink separately.
- Should you use fresh squeezed orange juice?For the freshest, best flavor it’s worth using fresh-squeezed orange juice but not a requirement! For an easy drink, use prepared low-pulp orange juice.
