Chef's Notes
Oranges and raspberries make a great combination. Interestingly enough, frozen raspberries offer a darker red color and more flavor than fresh raspberries. The Aer disc containers muddles the ingredients to add more flavor and texture to your beverage. Adjust sweetener down or up to your liking.
