Perfect for a hot summer day. My kids made it together and we all loved it!

Is there a recommendation for making this an "adult" beverage with liquor? Would rum be appropriate?

I have made this citrus cooler two different ways. The recipe here is great. However,when I'm not worried about the extra calories or if I'm serving guests,I make it with regular Kool-Aid Lemonade and sugar and then I cut up an orange-clean skin and all-and add it to the pitcher. The longer it sits the better it tastes. So refreshing!
