Notes
Use real purees like Boiron or Reàl for best fruit flavor. Add chili powder or spiced non-alcoholic rum for a twist. Add fruity syrup for more sweetness. Garnish with dried citrus for aroma and color. Skip bitters for a kid-friendly version. Pineapple puree also works for a variation. Balance cold, tart, and bubbly for best results.
