This mocktail is a hit at family gatherings bringing smiles to both kids and adults alike.

Notes

For a lower sugar version, use diet lemon-lime soda or sparkling water. To make it a cocktail, substitute prosecco or champagne for the soda. Add a sugar rim by dipping glass edges in lemon juice then in green sanding sugar. Try adding a splash of coconut water for extra flavor.
