Notes
- Don’t add extra alcohol - too much and they won’t set properly.
- Use good-quality vodka for a smoother, more elevated flavor.
- Try pomegranate juice instead of cranberry for a deeper, more complex taste.
- A touch of orange zest adds a beautiful citrus aroma and flavor.
- Serve within 24 hours - same-day is best for taste and texture.
