Casablanca Citrus Cooler Recipe
Beat the heat with this vibrant and refreshing Casablanca Citrus Cooler, a delightful blend of sweet, tart, and bubbly flavors!
Ingredients:

• 2 ounces freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
• 1 ounce agave nectar (or simple syrup)
• 1 cup chilled sparkling water
• Handful of fresh mint leaves
• Ice
• Orange slice and a sprig of mint for garnish (optional)
• Cocktail shaker
Instructions:
1. Juice the citrus: Squeeze the oranges and grapefruits to extract fresh juice. Aim for about 3 ounces of orange juice and 2 ounces of grapefruit juice.
2. Combine ingredients in shaker: In your cocktail shaker, combine the freshly squeezed orange and grapefruit juice, agave nectar, and mint leaves.
3. Shake it up! Close the shaker tightly and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. This will mix the ingredients and release the fragrant oils from the mint leaves.
4. Fill glass with ice: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
5. Strain and pour: Strain the mixed drink from the shaker into the glass filled with ice.
6. Top with sparkling water: Gently top the drink with chilled sparkling water.

Tips:
• Adjust the sweetness to your preference. You can add more or less agave nectar depending on how tart you like your drink.
• Don't have agave nectar? You can substitute it with simple syrup or honey.
• For a boozy twist, add a shot of your favorite vodka, gin, or tequila to the shaker before shaking.
• Experiment with different citrus fruits! Try adding a splash of lime juice or blood orange juice for a unique flavor variation.
