Notes
Feel free to play around with flavors. I sometimes add a splash of orange liqueur for extra zest. You can also muddle in some fresh cranberries for a stronger berry flavor. If you find it too sweet or sour, adjust the simple syrup or lemon juice to taste. Exploring the different combinations can lead to exciting results.
