For those of you who do not know what a spremuta d’arancia is, you are missing out on a refreshing orange juice which could potentially compete with your morning caffé for a spot on the bar. The barista makes the drink by simply cutting four to five oranges in half and then uses the juicer to fill a tall glass. Two types of oranges are typically used – either everyday table oranges or blood oranges which contain a reddish interior and are also smaller and less acidic. The blood orange originated from Sicily and can taste somewhat bitter (three main types exist). The juice naturally tastes just like you are eating an orange, but there is no need to worry about swallowing seeds or getting pulp stuck in your teeth. Even though this healthy drink is delicious, it can be a bit pricey. The lowest price I have seen thus far in the city has been €2.50, but in my opinion it is well worth it. Definitely give it a try if you are in need of a change from your morning caffé latte!
