1 12-oz. can frozen orange juice,

Really in a pinch

frozen pink or regular lemonade kept in the freezer

For those "emergency" situations - too hot, too tired, too drained - with
just enough strength to pull that white strip from around that little can and
place it in a pitcher and add water. Oh! the pain of waiting for it to dissolve
but when it does - relief at last!
