Notes

[‘If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of water or more tomato juice to thin it out.’, ‘Adjust the spice level by adding or reducing hot sauce and horseradish.’, ‘Chill your glasses in the freezer before serving for a refreshing experience.’, ‘You can prepare the base mix in advance and store it in the fridge for up to two days.’]
