Is there a way to make this a “mocktail?” I’m planning a Kentucky Derby party for widows at my church. Don’t think serving cocktails would be appreciated! 😂

I was reading somewhere recently that horse racing and boxing are the "original" American sports. Had never thought of either of those in that light before, but the idea makes sense. Particularly horse racing -- people have always raced horses -- and bet on the outcome. Anyway, great drink! Lovely color, and nice and refreshing. Thanks!
