This drink can be considered both. It uses sparkling water like a seltzer and includes fruit and espresso flavors, making it a light spritz-style mocktail.
Can I prepare this drink ahead of time?
It is best to carbonate the water just before serving to maintain fizz, especially in the Philippines.
Where can I buy ingredients in Manila?
DaVinci syrups, espresso, and garnishes are available through specialty retailers and online stores serving Manila and other parts of the Philippines.
