TIPS FOR SUCCESS
- Don’t add ice to the pitcher to keep this drink full of strong, refreshing fruit flavors. The ice will eventually melt and water down the fun, so add ice to individual glasses instead. Using large cubes that melt a little slower will also help keep drinks from getting too watery as well.
- Muddling the mint in the pitcher helps to release all of the wonderful mint oils from the leaves. Breaking down the leaves allows the mint to mingle and mix better with all of the other ingredients. Again, if you don’t have a muddler, that’s no problem, just use the end of a thick wooden spoon.
- If you like to juice your own fruits for drinks then you totally can! Just make sure you buy enough fruit to cover a couple of pitchers, these drinks are kind of addicting. The measurements are the same whether you use premade or homemade juice.
