Tips:
- Select the freshest citrus fruits: Look for fruits that are heavy for their size, have smooth, unblemished skin, and a strong citrus scent.
- Use a variety of citrus fruits: Different types of citrus fruits, such as oranges, grapefruits, lemons, and limes, offer unique flavors and aromas. Experiment with different combinations to create a cooler that suits your taste.
- Choose the right mint: Fresh mint leaves add a refreshing touch to the cooler. Use spearmint or peppermint, depending on your preference. If using dried mint, use about half the amount of fresh mint.
- Sweeten to taste: The amount of sweetener you add depends on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste. You can use sugar, honey, agave syrup, or another sweetener of your choice.
- Chill before serving: The cooler tastes best when it is served chilled. Refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving, or even overnight for a more intense flavor.
- Garnish with citrus slices and mint sprigs: This adds a pop of color and freshness to the cooler.
