Notes
- For a lighter punch, substitute coconut milk with light coconut milk or coconut water.
- To make it dairy-free and vegan, ensure the coconut milk used contains no dairy additives.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of sugar or using natural sweeteners like honey or agave syrup.
- Use sparkling water instead of lemon-lime soda for a less sweet, more natural fizz.
- Add slices of fresh citrus fruits for additional flavor and visual appeal.
