Tips & Tricks
Mixing up a Berry Bliss Mocktail can be a fun adventure! 😊 Here are my top tips to make it even better:
- Fresh Berries: Always use fresh berries. They give the drink a natural sweetness and vibrant color. If you don’t have fresh, then frozen works too!
- Chill Everything: Keep your ingredients cold before mixing. This way, your mocktail is refreshing right from the start. ❄️
- Garnishes: Jazz it up with a slice of lime or a sprig of mint. It adds a pop of color and a hint of extra flavor. 🌿
- Adjust Sweetness: Feel free to tweak the sweetener. If you love a sweeter taste, add a little more syrup or juice.
- Use a Shaker: If you have a cocktail shaker, use it! Shaking blends the flavors better than stirring. Plus, it’s fun! 🥤
