Tips & Tricks
Want to make your French 75 mocktail even better? Here are some tips to try! 🍋
1. Chill Your Ingredients
Make sure to keep all ingredients in the fridge before you start. Cold ingredients make a refreshing drink.
2. Choose Quality Juice
I usually use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. If you have a juicer, use it! Store-bought is fine too. Just make sure it’s 100% juice.
3. Trying Different Sweeteners
Adjust sweetness to your liking. Simple syrup is classic, but honey or agave syrup can add a nice twist. Experiment and see what you prefer!
4. Fun Garnishes
Add a slice of lemon or a twist for extra flair. I also love using rosemary sprigs for a bit of aroma. 🌿
5. Use the Right Glass
Serve in a chilled flute glass to keep your drink cool and elegant. It also looks fancy!
6. Sparkling Water Choices
For fizz, try different sparkling waters. I mix it up with flavored options like lime or ginger.
