Notes
Substitutions: Use agave nectar or simple syrup for a sweeter drink. Skip the liquor and add orange juice for a mocktail.
Tips: Use a strong blender and chilled glasses. Add more ice for a thicker texture.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container for up to 24 hours and blend again with fresh ice.
