# Pro Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes elegantly refreshing without a drop of alcohol, so everyone at your table can enjoy it together.
  • You can make a big pitcher and let it sit, which means less fussing while your guests arrive and settle in.
  • The prep is genuinely quick and satisfying—slicing fruit is oddly meditative once you get into a rhythm.
02 -
  • Don't add sparkling water until the moment you serve—it goes flat shockingly fast if it sits around waiting.
  • Fresh juice truly is worth the squeeze here; bottled juice tastes a bit one-dimensional compared to the brightness fresh citrus brings.
03 -
  • A sharp knife and a steady hand make slicing citrus feel smooth and professional—dull knives make the work drag and bruise the fruit.
  • Tear mint by hand instead of cutting it; your scissors will oxidize the leaves and they'll turn black at the edges if you're not careful.
