| Ingredient | Swap | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Simple syrup | Agave or honey syrup | Start with half as much and adjust to taste |
| Fresh citrus juice | Bottled juice | Fresh tastes brighter, but bottled works in a pinch |
| Regular ice | One large cube | A large cube melts more slowly in spirit-forward drinks |
Storage & leftovers
For the best flavor, mix this drink just before serving. Chill the ingredients ahead instead of storing a finished ice-filled drink.
Any prepared syrup or fruit mixture can be refrigerated separately in a sealed jar for up to 5 days.
