Hope you guys can help. We were planning to do a "sprinkle" brunch for one of the moms in our playgroup and most of the kids got sick. Meanwhile I purchased tons of oranges to do fresh squeezed juice and the rescheduled party will now be in the afternoon. Thinking I can just do a punch, but want it to be as natural and low sugar as possible. Not finding any great recipes that don't include sherbet, sugary soda etc.

Super simple punch
* Fresh squeezed orange juice
* Club soda or seltzer
Add sugar or honey to taste
Slightly more complex punch
* Fresh squeezed orange juice
* Cranberry juice to give it a redder color
* Club soda or seltzer
Add sugar or honey to taste
For extra fancy touch - slice a couple of the oranges in rounds and then freeze. Use in the punch in place of ice-cubes.

You can also make a mojo marinade for a chicken with so many oranges. If they're not sour oranges, just don't add the sugar the recipe calls for. Yum.
Thank you!! I'll try the one with the cranberry next time. Wound up making a similar punch I found when I just googled a couple of times.
8 cups of fresh squeezed OJ
1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup of fresh lime juice
7 cups of sparkling water
Added a small can of pineapple juice to sweeten.
Came out great.
Think I'll try just sweetening with honey next time.
Thanks again for your reply
Have some left over. Good idea. Thank you
