Suggestions
Want a sweeter twist? Use flavored sparkling water instead of plain club soda. For an extra flair, add a splash of sparkling wine (go big or go home, right?). If you don’t have white rum, light vodka can step in as a dashing understudy. Serve it in a mason jar for a rustic touch or a highball glass for some elegance. Cheers to living your best single-serving life!
