Notes
I’ve got a few tips for you:
If you prefer a less sweet drink, adjust the peppermint syrup to taste.
For a more intense mint flavor, muddle some mint leaves in the glasses before adding the drink.
You can make the base and keep it in the fridge until you're ready to add club soda and serve.
Consider using sugar-free options if you'd like a lighter version.
Feel free to experiment and make this drink your own! What variations do you like? Let me know in the comments! 😊
