Tips

  • 💡 For an adult twist, consider adding a splash of gin or vodka.
  • 💡 Feel free to substitute the ginger ale with a tonic water for a less sweet option.
  • 💡 If elderflower syrup is hard to find, you can make a quick homemade version by simmering equal parts sugar and water with dried elderflowers until the sugar dissolves.
