Substitute
If you’re missing some ingredients or want to try something new, I’ve got some fun ideas! 🍹
For the sparkling water, you can use club soda or tonic water.
Want an extra citrus kick? Lemon-lime soda can bring a sweet twist.
Don’t have fresh strawberries? Frozen berries work great too!
Just thaw them first to bring out their juiciness. This helps keep that berry punch in every sip. 🍓
If you’re trying to avoid sugar, swap the sweetener with a sugar-free syrup or a natural option like honey or maple syrup.
Sometimes I like to add a splash of orange juice for extra zesty goodness. 🍊
