Homemade Orangina
I've always loved Orangina, the way you need to gently shake it up to mix in the real juice pulp. "Aranciata" orange flavored carbonated soda from San Pellegrino is also a favorite. When I want to feel decadent, I buy a pack of Orangina or Aranciata and line my fridge from front to back like a hotel mini-bar.
How to Make Homemade Orangina
Tough times call for cutting back on the family food budget and carbonated orange sodas are not tops on the "must have" list of beverages. However, my husband has invented his own fairly decent imitation of homemade Orangina which is cheaper than the original. Below is a quick step-by-step guide for his homemade Orangina.
Orangina Controversy
By the way, did you hear about the big flap about Orangina and the controversial ad campaigns they were running in Europe? Included is the original ad that got people in a twist. Plus Orangina's been loved around the world since the 50s and included throughout are the vintage Orangina print posters from Bernard Villemot

Homemade Orangina
Why Mess With Perfection?
Do You Think It's Silly To Even Try?
Yes. It's impossible to replicate that perfect mix of orange and soda.

I don't see how this ends up saving money.
lisa says:
yes because nothing is better than the real orangina its IMPOSSIBLE
floody says:
No
No. It's great to save on costly luxury items like soda.
Anne says:
I think it's probably different tasting but, still good. maybe even really good!
Connor says:
i have another way to make it, take 1 packet of crystal light orange juice and mix with sparkling water and there you go

We used to try to do the same thing in one of my French classes. I was so excited to see your attempt at creating it. As I was telling my friends about it I found your sight.
D-Rocka says:
Add a splash of lemon juice and orange extract/essence and viola!
jawnson says:
I tried mixing orange juice and seltzer on my own and drank it RIGHT after an orangina, and it tasted just about the same. however, i did it 1/2 & 1/2.

- I think anytime you can make something at home it is great! I've never had Orangina so I wouldn't even have to worry about comparisons. Nicely done & blessed.

- Wonderful lens. The new commercial is a bit racy for children, but fun for adults. Quite a fantasy land for little children to dream about, no? Orangina would probably make a good 7-up cake. Thanks for featuring our lens.
