Notes
If you don’t have a muddler, a spoon works just fine for mashing the ingredients.
Swap the gin with vodka for a different flavor profile.
Make sure to chill your glass before serving.
Use ripe fruit for the best taste—it's crucial for the sweetness.
Feel free to adjust the sweetness with more or less lemonade according to your taste.
