LET US KNOW!
I made this mocktail for my niece's baby shower today and it was delicious! It was s bit sweet to start with as I couldn't find unsweetened pineapple juice so I added some freshly squeezed lemon juice to counterbalance it. Everyone loved it and some mixed half a glass of the mocktail with half a glass of pink or white champagne. The toddlers loved it too! I only found your website a week ago and it's absolutely fantastic with so many recipes I'm excited to try out - thank you!
Hi Lesley! Wow! That truly makes me so happy to know that everyone enjoyed this recipe and that it got a chance to be a part of such a special moment! Thanks so much! I'm so excited to see what recipes you enjoy! 🙂
