1 banana
2 navel oranges
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon Grand Marnier, optional

Holding the orange over the bowl cut between the membranes to free the citrus segments. Let them fall into the bowl as they are cut free. By hand, squeeze all the juice from the remaining membrane over the fruit, then discard. Repeat with the other orange.
