Just add a few interesting and inventive ingredients, and your kids will be skipping the soda all summer long.

Spruce It Up!

Another way to spice up an orange fruit drink is with a little ginger ale. Mix the two ingredients, add any other fruit like cherries, peaches, or pears into the concoction, and serve over ice.
