Notes
Please opt for fresh lime in this recipe, the fresh vibrant flavor makes this cocktail stand out.
I opted for a natural grenadine syrup made from pomegranate, you can however, absolutely use any grenadine of choice
I love the floral-fruity notes from elderflower lemonade, it’s all-natural and adds such a lovely freshness. If you’re not a fan of Elderflower or you don’t have it on hand, you can use any sparkling lemonade of choice like sprite or 7up. Find all my cocktail making essentials HERE
