One of the secrets of a delicious orange shake - quality ingredients. Therefore, it is first and foremost important to purchase ripe citrus fruits. When buying fruit, there is always the risk of buying an immature or spoiled fruit.

When choosing oranges, you can use a number of simple recommendations.

• On the peel should not be any dark spots and rotten areas.
• When choosing oranges, you can evaluate their quality by touch. Too light and soft fruits are better not to acquire, because, most likely, they have already begun to dry. Too dense fruits can be underperforming.
• Fruit maturity can also be determined by smell. From a ripe orange will emanate a bright citrus scent.
• The big fruits do not say that they are ripe and sweet. Most often, these fruits are fertilized with chemicals in the process of growing, and the pulp contains more water than nutrients. It is best to buy fruits of medium or small size.
• The orange skin should be smooth and almost completely smooth, while its thickness may be different. It is important that the surface is not too uneven.

Making an orange cocktail is quite simple and quick. It is only necessary to choose the most suitable variant of the drink and follow all the basic recommendations for preparation. Most often, oranges are mixed with milk or other fruits.

All ingredients must be placed in a container and whisk until smooth with a blender. If you use cold milk, then after a couple of minutes of whipping, milk froth will appear on the surface of the mass. Ready drink must be poured into glasses. The specified number of ingredients is enough for two servings of a cocktail.
