Even though some of the ingredients in our clone are not pure fruit juice, and we’re adding additional water and sugar, this Top Secret Recipes version still contains a lot more tasty real fruit juice than the real thing. Plus, you can leave the food coloring out, if you like. It’s only for looks, in a traditionally punchy way.
