Note

For a closer taste to the original commercial version, substitute the cold water with carbonated water. Note that this will reduce the frothiness slightly as the carbonation takes over.

You can vary the flavor profile by substituting some or all of the orange juice with strawberry or pineapple juice for a fruitier twist.

Be careful not to overfill your blender jar, as the mixture expands significantly during blending. Fill no more than halfway to avoid spills.

Adjust the amount of sugar based on the sweetness of your orange juice and personal preference. You may also use simple syrup for easier blending.
