Substitute
Sometimes we might not have all the ingredients on hand. No worries! I’ve got you covered with some simple substitutes to keep the Arctic Blue Fizz Cocktail fun and refreshing. 🍹
Instead of blue curaçao, you can use a blue sports drink. It will add color and a hint of citrus.
If you don’t have gin, vodka is a great alternative. It keeps the cocktail light and smooth.
No lemon-lime soda? Use tonic water with a splash of lime juice. It keeps the fizz while adding a tangy twist.
Feel free to add grenadine for more color depth, or even cranberry juice for a slightly different taste. This cocktail is all about personal preference! 🎨
