Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- ginger ale → sparkling water for a less sweet and more refreshing version
- lemon juice → lime juice for a slightly more tart citrus twist
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Using bottled lemon juice instead of fresh which gives a less vibrant and more artificial citrus flavor
- Over-stirring after adding the ginger ale which destroys the bubbles and makes the drink flat
