Notes

✨ Serving & Styling Tips

Turn your drink into a moment:

  • Use chunky ice (we love that clear, slow-melting look)
  • Add a fresh lime wheel + orange slice for color contrast
  • Serve in a chilled margarita or coupe glass
  • Finish with a striped straw or gold stir stick
  • Pair with soft linen napkins in warm, citrusy tones

 

It’s simple—but these little details make everything feel beautifully elevated ✨
