Notes
Feeling creative? Try swapping the vanilla extract with a splash of almond or rose water for a twist. Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less juice, depending on your taste preference.
Quick tip: For a richer flavor, let the mocktail sit for a few minutes so the ingredients can blend together perfectly. How do you like your mocktail? Tell me in the comments!
