Love it! At first taste, I thought I would compare it to a cantaloupe lotion from Bath and Body Works put into a drink. Added 2 oranges instead of orange juice.

Easy, light and refreshing. Perfect for summer! Thanks for sharing!

Quick and easy for sure! Even though I'm not a big fan of cinnamon, I added it anyway because I didn't want it to taste like simple blended fruit juice. Our guest liked it. I chilled it for 1 hour but I think it needs to be in the fridge longer time than that.. My husband added a few ice cubes in there and we tasted it just when it's colder but the ice was not all melted, the taste was much better in this temperature.
