Featured Ingredients
Read below for some important information about a few of the ingredients.
Simple syrup - It seems weird to add sugar syrup to a beverage with so much sugar, but it does add some wonderful flavor that's not to be missed!
Soft drink - Any lemon-lime soda beverage will work. Use your favorite.
Apple Cider Vinegar - Say what??! This may be a weird one for you but do not omit this ingredient. It doesn't take much, and the vinegar smell will fade after a moment, so no fear. ACV adds a little something extra that moves this bubbly punch into the mocktail arena because the fermentation of the vinegar subtly mimics the flavor of alcohol.
