Notes
If possible make ahead some ice cubes with the juice only. This will help in maintaining the fruity flavor without diluting it further unlike normal water ice cubes. However, this is optional for better taste.
Make-ahead your sugar syrup and refrigerate. Whenever making such drinks use that sugar syrup.
Adjust the amount of sweetener as per your taste.
You can replace your sugar syrup with stevia and other similar low-carb options for a healthier option.
