Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Lemon
- 1 whole Orange
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Cold water
- 1.5 cups Ice cubes
Instructions
Wash and dry the lemon and orange thoroughly to remove any wax or dirt.
Cut the lemon and orange in half. Reserve one half of each fruit for garnish or another use.
Squeeze the juice from the remaining half of the lemon and orange into a 16-ounce shaker or mason jar. Be sure to catch any seeds.
Add the granulated sugar to the jar.
Drop the squeezed lemon and orange rinds (peels) directly into the jar to infuse the drink with extra citrus flavor.
Pour in the cold water and add the ice cubes to the jar.
Seal the shaker or jar tightly with a lid and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds to dissolve the sugar and mix the flavors.
Remove the lid and pour the mixture into a large glass, straining out the peels and any leftover pulp if desired.
Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your State Fair Lemon Orange Shakeup!
