This one isn't finished yet but its very promising so far 
10 oranges
1kg sugar
1 litre carton cheap orange juice
1tspn yeast
1/2 - 1 tspn nutrient
Zest all 10 oranges as much as possible (avoid the white pith), then juice the oranges.
Put juice to 1 side then stick zest, sugar & 3 litres of water into a large pan & bring to boil.
When this reaches boiling point add squeezed juice & the carton of juice. Bring back to boil then take off heat.
When this mixture becomes lukewarm transfer to DJ, add yeast & nutrient then shake gently. Stick an airlock in & leave for 14 days but gently agitate every couple of days.
After 2 weeks siphon through muslin into another DJ & leave untouched for 10-14 days then bottle.
This should be ready to drink right after bottling. I made this with 1.5kg sugar but think 1kg be more than enough. I strained into 2nd DJ today, sample was at 13% & tasted like a strong vodka & orange.

that's why I recommend 1kg sugar
