Notes
Experiment with the flavors by adjusting the juice quantities. If you prefer a sweeter taste, increase the sugar syrup. On the other hand, reducing it gives a more tart sensation.
Try adding a splash of soda if you like some fizz. It gives an exciting twist to the mocktail. Remember that presentation matters—feel free to use colorful straws or add more fruit slices for a visually appealing drink.
