To use, simply pour the desired amount into your shaker or mixing glass. For cocktails, it is often combined with spirits like rum, vodka, or gin, and then shaken with ice. It can also be added directly to glasses for simpler mixed drinks. For non-alcoholic options, it can be mixed with sparkling water, juice, or soda. Experiment with different ratios to find your preferred balance of sweetness and tartness. It can also be used in small amounts to add a tangy note to dressings or glazes.
