Notes
Recipe Substitutions and Variations
Replace the lime sparkling water with lemon-lime soda. If preferred, replace 1-for-1 in this recipe.
Use club soda in place of the lime sparkling water. If preferred, replace 1-for-1 in this recipe. I'd also recommend adding a little extra lime juice.
Muddle in some fresh sweet cherries. To do so, remove the stems and pits from 2-3 cherries, and then muddle the fruit with your simple syrup in the bottom of your glass.
Muddle in some maraschino cherries. To do so, add 2-3 cherries to the bottom of your glass and muddle the fruit with your simple syrup.
Make it into a cocktail. To do so, add 1-2oz of vodka to your drink.
