Notes

Tip 1 - Adjust the sweetness - You might prefer a sweeter version or want to omit sugar altogether.
Tip 2 - Velvety Smooth - Double strain the cocktail before serving. You want to ensure no fruit pulp, seeds, or small ice shards remain. 
Tip 3 - Intense Version - Prepare the cocktail ahead of time and chill it in the refrigerator. This will provide a more intense flavor infusion.
Tip 4 - Garnish Game - Add garnishings and a fun straw to create visual appeal.
Tip 5 - Extra Flair - Decorate the rim of your glass with a mixture of sugar and lime zest before pouring the cocktail.
