03 - Customize the intensity of pink by adjusting cranberry juice or switch Sprite to lemonade for a tarter profile.
04 - Opt for unsweetened cranberry juice for tartness, or cranberry cocktail for a sweeter beverage.
05 - Alcohol-free version swaps vodka and Malibu for additional Sprite and a splash of coconut water.
