Pineapple Orange Fizz

This is a very kid friendly drink.I created this drink specially for my son. Since i don't approve of kids drinking soda or similar kind of beverages,this uses simple sparkling water but gives them the satisfaction of drinking something fizzy.Its a great drink for everyone -kids and adults alike.

Serving:s Approx two
Ingredients:
Plain Sparkling water 4 oz
Fresh Orange Juice: 3-4 Oz
Fresh Pineapple Juice: 4Oz
Sugar: 1/2 Tbsp
Salt: a Pinch or approx 1/4 tsp
Crushed Ice: Optional

Method: Squeeze the Oranges and stain the juice,so that their is no pulp. Blend the Pineapples in the blender and strain.
In a pitcher pour the Orange and Pineapple juice,now add sugar and salt and mix well. Now add the sparkling water and mix thoroughly.
Cool it in the refrigerator for 1/2 hr and before serving add crushed ice.

PS: you can add more Orange juice,if you like it more tangy and if the pineapple is really sweet ,you can omit sugar or can reduce its amount.
