TIPS FOR SUCCESS
- Adjust the lime lemon soda to taste. Add more or less depending on how much fizziness and tanginess you desire in your potion.

- For a stronger lime flavor, you can add the zest of the limes to the potion. Simply grate the outer green part of the lime peel and add it to the apple juice and lime puree mixture.
- If you prefer a sweeter potion, you can add a tablespoon or two of honey or agave syrup to the mixture. Adjust the sweetness to your liking.
- For a more magical presentation, you can rim the serving glasses with colored sugar or serve the potion in decorative potion bottles or cauldrons.
- To make the potion extra cold, chill the apple juice and lime puree mixture in the refrigerator before serving. You can also chill the glasses before adding the ice and potion.
