Notes
I find that The Witching Hour Mocktail is perfect for parties or cozy evenings. To make it more festive, consider using Halloween-themed cups or adding a bit of dry ice for a smoky effect. Remember, the mocktail can be adjusted to taste.
If it's too tart, a bit of extra simple syrup can balance that. Invite friends to try and share how they customize theirs! This mocktail is all about having fun and being creative. 😊
