Notes
- Juice Selection Matters: Choose fresh, high-quality citrus juices for a vibrant, authentic flavor that elevates the entire cocktail experience.
- Ice is Key: Use large, clear ice cubes to prevent rapid dilution and maintain the drink’s crisp, refreshing taste while keeping it beautifully chilled.
- Garnish with Flair: Cut fruit garnishes just before serving to ensure maximum freshness and visual appeal, creating an Instagram-worthy presentation.
- Dietary Flexibility: Swap regular ginger ale with a sugar-free version for a lower-calorie option, or use sparkling water for a lighter, less sweet alternative.
