Always use freshly squeezed juice for a cleaner brighter flavor Once I used grocery store bottled orange juice and the mocktail lost its magic
Chill your glassware especially copper mugs in the freezer for an hour before serving for the coldest possible experience
Taste before you add simple syrup Sometimes the citrus and cranberry are sweet enough on their own
Experiment with different ginger beers each brand brings a unique level of heat and effervescence Some are bold and peppery while others are mellow and smooth
To make each glass photo worthy twist a strip of orange peel over the top so the oils burst out for a fresh aroma I love seeing the sparkle and color every single time
