Tips & Tricks
When I make the Pink Lemonberry Drink Mocktail, I love adding a splash of club soda. It gives it a fun fizz! 🍋
Chill the glasses in the freezer before serving. This keeps the drink cool without ice melting too fast.

I like to use a twist of lemon peel or a few fresh berries on top for a nice touch.
Mix up the recipe with herbs like mint or basil for a fresh twist.
Just a few leaves can change the flavor in a delightful way.
Here’s a quick rundown of my tips:
