Here are our favorite  flavorful additions:

  • Fresh Herbs: Mint, rosemary, basil, and thyme add depth and freshness.
  • Citrus Zest & Juice: Lemon, lime, orange, and grapefruit brighten up any drink.
  • Ginger: Fresh ginger or ginger syrup brings a spicy kick.
  • Berries: Muddled strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries enhance sweetness and color.
  • Coconut Water: A hydrating and subtly tropical mixer.
  • Bitters: Add complexity with aromatic or fruit-based bitters.
  • Honey or Agave Syrup: Natural sweeteners that blend smoothly.
  • Spices: Cinnamon sticks, star anise, and cloves provide warmth and depth.
  • Garnishes: Citrus wheels, edible flowers, and cocktail cherries for a stylish finish.
