Notes
I wanted to share some tips that make my cocktails even better:
Experiment with different vodkas: Each one adds a different flavor.
Adjust the lime juice: Depending on your taste, more or less can be added.
Chill your mug: A cold mug enhances the experience.
Fresh juices are key: They make the drink vibrant and tasty.
I often enjoy tweaking the recipe a little each time, keeping it fresh and fun. What works for me might be a fun experiment for you too! Enjoy making this delightful Valentine’s Velvet Mule and share your experience or tweaks in the comments. Cheers! 🎉❤️
