Notes
I use fresh juices to enhance the flavor of the drink. If you don’t have all the ingredients, there are a few substitutions you might consider:
Coconut milk can be used instead of coconut cream for a healthier option.
Club soda added after straining can give a fizzy twist.
Adjust sweetness by adding a little bit of simple syrup if desired.
