A fresh and fruity mocktail choice sure to be a crowd pleaser.
While the base ingredients for this beverage remain the same, you can spruce it up with the soda of your choice (but a clear one would be better to make sure that drink looks refreshingly cool).
I’ve used Sprite but you could use plain soda and if a pronounced ginger flavour is what you think will be loved by your guests then pour in Ginger Ale and you’re good to go!
You can even turn this mocktail into a cocktail by replacing the soda with vodka or combining both.
See?
This drink is so highly customizable, you can actually keep an assortment of these bottles and based on the preferences of your guests, serve them accordingly!
Everyone stays happy!
