- You can substitute ginger ale for lemon-lime soda for a slightly different flavor.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the ratio of juices or using diet soda options for lower sugar.
- For an adult version, add vodka or rum as desired, but keep it separate for non-alcoholic servings.
- Use fresh or frozen cranberries as garnish to add seasonal color and texture.
