Preparation Steps
- Grab a shaker or a big glass.

Serving Suggestions
Serve it in a tall glass. Add a fun straw or a little umbrella to make it look cool. You can also add a slice of lime or lemon on the rim for that extra zing. It’s perfect for hot days, parties, or anytime you want something fun and refreshing.
Nutritional Information
Let’s keep it real; this is a fun drink, not a health potion. It’s got alcohol and sugar, so it’s more about enjoyment than nutrition. However, enjoying it responsibly is key. Always make sure you’re drinking water too and never go overboard.
