Never had Orangina, let alone heard of it. However the recipe sounds tasty.

Approximately how much corn syrup and sugar did you use?

I don't recall, but most the time when I'm making soda I used 4 to 6 cups of sugar per 5 gallons. Some like it sweeter, I don't.

Thanks. I figured it was "standard soda sweetness" but wanted to make sure not to overdo it right off the start and ruin the recipe. I usually make my rootbeers less sweet than commercial.

This sounds like an awesome recipe! You should put it in your drop down... if that is an option.

Thanks - was looking for a starting point for exactly this.

My goal is to brew a 5g batch of it for summer...I may try to use freshly squeezed OJ with a tad of ascorbic acid to tart it up, given that 5g's of tangerine juice would require a second mortgage.

i had the real deal in France and it is indead awesome. I treat myself to it once in a while cause it is xpensive around these parts.

I don't have the equipment to force carbonate. Does anyone have suggestions about how to make this with yeast and bottling? I'm new to this so as much detail would be appreciated. My wife loves Orangina so this would help support the costs of a new hobby.

Perfect. The vanilla gave it a "cream" flavor which was a pleasant surprise

How much corn syrup and sugar are you adding?
