Notes
While making this mocktail, I like to experiment a bit.
For a spicy kick, I sometimes add a dash of ginger. If I’m in the mood for something sweeter, I increase the honey or maple syrup slightly. Always adjust the cinnamon to match my taste preference—some like it light, while others enjoy a robust cinnamon flavor.
This drink is perfect for any occasion. I encourage everyone to try their own variations and share what they think! Don't forget to leave a comment below with your thoughts and tweaks! 🍹💬
