This is a good drink for a party on a warm summer night. It can be either alcoholic or non-alcoholic. I, personally, would make it with the orange juice. It shouldn’t take credit card processing in order to pay for the ingredients either.
2 limes
2 oranges
1 lemon
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
2 bottles (25.4 oz each) white Catawba grape juice
2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur or orange juice
2 cups sparkling water, chilled
Cut the ends off of the fruit. In 2-quart saucepan, mix the sugar and water then add the ends of the fruit. Heat to boiling and boil for 3 minutes. Cool; discard ends. Cut remaining limes, oranges and lemon into thin slices.
In a 3-quart non-metal container, mix the sugar/water mixture, grape juice and liqueur or orange juice. Add the fruit slices then refrigerate.
Just before serving, add the sparkling water and stir gently.
