Provided by á-39535

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 (12 ounce) cans orange soda (Fanta)
2 (12 ounce) cans cola (Coca-Cola)
1 lemon, quartered (or cut into 6 wedges)

Steps:

  • In each glass, mix equal parts orange soda and cola. Squeeze the juice of one lemon wedge into each glass. Serve. Traditionally served at room temp, but Americans prefer over ice.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe oranges and lemons: This will ensure that your Spezi has a bright, citrusy flavor.
  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger will give your Spezi a spicy kick that will balance out the sweetness of the oranges and lemons.
  • Don't boil the Spezi: Boiling will destroy the delicate flavors of the citrus fruits and ginger. Instead, bring the mixture to a simmer and then remove it from the heat.
  • Let the Spezi cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
  • Serve Spezi chilled: Spezi is best served cold, so be sure to chill it in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
