Notes
Feel free to make adjustments based on your preferences. If you like it sweeter, add a bit more simple syrup. For a stronger lime flavor, increase the lime juice slightly.
I like using a mix of berries for a more complex taste, but you can stick to one type if you prefer. Remember to let me know how your cocktail turns out in the comments! 🍓🍸
