Troubleshooting Tips

• Too Spicy? If your cocktail turns out too spicy, add a bit more pineapple juice or soda to balance the heat.
• Too Sweet? If it’s too sweet for your taste, add more lime juice or a splash of soda water to cut the sweetness.
• Not Fizzy Enough? Make sure to top off with enough club soda, or try a sparkling water for a different twist.
