Notes

The Jack Rudy Tonic is a syrup that is used alongside club soda. You can substitute regular tonic. If you use a regular tonic, it is a personal preference if you want to add more fizz with extra club soda or just leave it out.

You can use regular lemon if you can't find Meyer lemons.

Can't find blood orange sorbet? You can use another citrus flavor or even raspberry or another fruity flavor.
