- For a less tart drink, adjust the lime juice quantity to taste.
- Fresh pomegranate seeds add a delightful crunch, but they can be omitted if preferred.
- This mocktail is best served immediately to enjoy the full fizz and freshest flavors.
- Mint leaves can be muddled slightly before adding for a stronger mint flavor.
