Substitutions + Variations
You’ll love this recipe as-is, though there’s nothing wrong with adding a few other things to make alternate versions.
- Herbs: Fresh herbs such as rosemary, mint, or even basil can give this a unique and bespoke taste. Also, it would look lovely as a garnish if you’re using this for mocktails.
- Soda water: For a fizzier format, use soda water.
