Notes

A few tips for an amazing cocktail! If it’s a bit too sweet, adjust the sugar. For a less boozy version, add more club soda. You can swap the rum with a non-alcoholic option if you prefer.

Experiment with the herbs: mint is a great substitute for basil if you want a different twist. Keep it simple, be creative, and have fun trying out different flavors. Let me know your thoughts in the comments! 🍹
