Tips and Substitutions

• Dietary Needs: If you’re vegan, substitute honey with agave syrup or maple syrup. For a low-calorie version, skip the sweetener altogether.
• Freshness: Always use fresh mint for the best flavor. If mint isn’t available, you can use basil as an alternative.
• Adjust Sweetness: Taste your mixture before adding any sweetener. The pineapple is naturally sweet, and you may find you don’t need any extra sweetness.

Troubleshooting Tips

• Too Sweet: If your drink ends up too sweet, add a bit more lime juice or a splash of sparkling water to balance it out.
• Too Tart: If the drink is too tart, add a bit more honey or agave syrup until it reaches your desired sweetness.
