# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Its the kind of drink that makes people immediately ask for the recipe, and youll feel secretly smug telling them how easy it is
  • The combination of sweet and tart hits this perfect balance that somehow appeals to everyone from kids to picky relatives
02 -
  • The soda will go flat eventually, so add the carbonated ingredients last and try not to stir too vigorously
  • If you're making this ahead of time, combine all the juices first but wait until the last 20 minutes before adding the soda and ice

  • Chill all your ingredients the night before so everything is already ice cold when you start mixing
  • Make an ice ring with fruit frozen inside it instead of regular cubes for something that feels extra special
