It’s delicate yet distinct, offering a lovely contrast to the fruity cranberry taste.

Substitute

Sometimes, it’s fun to switch things up! 🍹

If you don’t have cranberries, try pomegranate juice for a tart bite.

I love using soda water if you want a fizzy drink. It gives the cooler a bubbly twist. Sparkling water works, too!

Lilac syrup not available? Lavender syrup can be a sweet, floral stand-in.

Just make sure to adjust the amount since lavender can be strong.

Feeling creative? You can introduce different fruits, like:

Strawberry instead of cranberries for a sweeter touch
Blueberries to add a fresh burst

Don’t have fresh lime? Lemon juice is an excellent replacement. 🍋 It adds that tangy kick.

Your creativity is key!

Feel free to mix and match flavors to suit your taste.
