Notes
Tip: Use freshly squeezed juice for the best flavor and benefits. Adjust sweetness to taste, and feel free to experiment with different citrus fruits!
For an extra kick, consider adding a splash of ginger ale or soda water for fizz. If you prefer a sweeter drink, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup can enhance the flavor without overpowering the freshness of the citrus. This cooler is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good stir before serving to mix any settled ingredients.
