Cara Cara oranges are available between December and May each year.
The flavor is a balance of sweet, tangy, and tart.
On the outside, it looks like an orange, but on the inside, it looks and smells like a grapfruit!
Such a unique seasonal taste to enjoy! 
 

Prep time: 10 minutes

Difficulty: easy
Makes: 4 servings

INGREDIENTS
2 cara cara oranges

1 lime

2 large sprigs of mint

750ml Sparkling water (one bottle of San Pelligrino) chilled

​

1 cup of water

1tbsp honey

INSTRUCTIONS

• to make a quick simple syrup place the water and honey into a small saucepan and simmer for 1 minute then remove from heat to cool while you prepare the rest of the mocktail

• These measurements are for 4 cute mocktail drinks but you can put this all into a pitcher as well

• slice off 4 pretty pieces of the orange and lime and set aside 

• juice the remaining portions of the oranges and lime ( you should have about 125 ml of juice)

• break off a glasses length of mint spring for each glass, give it a few slaps to release the aromatic oils, and place in the glass

• place one of the orange slices in each glass and one lime wheel on the rim (it helps if you cut the peel to slide onto the rim easier)

• pour just over 25 ml of the juice into each glass as evenly as possible

• add 1tbsp of the honey simple syrup to each

• gently pour in the chilled sparkling water until you have about an inch of space at the top of the glass so there is room for a couple of ice cubes

• Serve and enjoy!  

• if you are making a pitcher just put all of the equal ingredients in and have fun!
