- Fresh Mint Leaves - For garnish (optional)

Instructions:
Now, let's explore the simple steps to create your Orange Fizz:
Step 1: Fresh Orange Juice
- Start by selecting ripe and juicy oranges. Roll them on a countertop to loosen the juice.
- Cut the oranges in half and use a citrus juicer to extract the juice. You can also use a handheld juicer if you don't have an electric one.
- Strain the juice to remove any pulp or seeds for a smoother consistency.
Step 2: Sweeten to Taste
- In a pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice with 2-3 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
- Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved in the orange juice.
Step 3: Add Ice
- Fill your serving glasses with ice cubes. The ice will keep your Orange Fizz cool and refreshing.
Step 4: Combine Orange Juice and Carbonated Water
- Pour the sweetened orange juice over the ice in each glass, filling them about halfway.
Step 5: Carbonated Bliss
- Now, it's time to give your Orange Fizz its signature fizziness! Carefully pour the carbonated water (club soda or sparkling water) over the orange juice, filling the glass to the top.
- Be gentle while pouring to avoid excessive foam.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
- To add an elegant touch to your Orange Fizz, garnish it with a fresh mint leaf and a slice of orange.
- Stir gently with a long spoon to mix the ingredients.
Step 7: Enjoy!
- Your Orange Fizz is ready to be savored. Sip slowly and enjoy the burst of citrusy goodness with every refreshing sip.
