Anyone made an "old timey" orangeade like yo used to find in the old drug stores? I am looking for the recipe and the internet hasn't been much help
I may be too young to remember that kind of drink, but is it the one that taste like the combination of lemonade and orange soda? My son like to create a drink like that everytime we're at McDonalds. LOL.
There is a drink out there like what you are talking about. The one I am looking for is made very similar to lemonade-----just made with oranges instead. You can often find these "orangeades" at Andy's Cheeseburger rest.
Now I know what it is. I just researched in Wikipedia for orangeade. It says that you can find a recipe for home made Orangeade appears in editions of Fanni Farmer's cookbook. Wanna drink it now? Minute Maid currently markets a brand of non-carbonated beverage labeled Orangeade.
Found some recipes. Don't know if that's what you're looking for: http://www.drinkswap.com/drinks/detail.asp?recipe_id=8317 http://www.foodreference.com/html/tangy-f-orangeade.html http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/drink/views/200866 http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,193,144163-226196,00.html Let me know which one you like, as I would like to try it someday.
Yummy Orangeade 1 cup lemon juice (usually takes 6 lemons for me to get this much) 6 cups of orange juice (usually takes me 12 oranges) 3/4 cup of sugar 2 cups of ice cubes Combine lemon juice and sugar, stir till sugar is dissolved. Add orange juice and ice stir add. Enjoy!!
I don't want to come accross as "picky" I am looking for the recipe: How many oranges that are manually squeezed over a 16 oz cup of ice, and the measuremants of sugar water that is poored into the cup afterwards.
I used to make them at a deli where I worked in college. I squeezed 1 orange (cut in half, of course) over a cup of crushed ice and put the sugar water mixture over that and stirred, and of course added a cherry on top. I think the sugar mixture we used was about 1 and 1/2 cup sugar per gallon of water... but I wouldn't swear on that part. I know I put 2 halves into the squeezer machine thingie per cup (16 oz. cup) of orangeade.
When you are done, I'll take one with a shot of vodka. Thanks! I live in the McGees area. I should be home today so you can bring it by. T4T
I make my own version by hand squeezing 2 oranges, adding a few cubes of ice, about 4 packets of Equal, and finishing off with water. I make it in a 16 ounce glass so I don't measure the water, I just top off the glass!
