A few hours (or so) before you serve – add 1 bottle of Ārepa to all the fruit and add half of the orange AND pineapple juice. Add 1 lemon and 1 bottle of soda water.
When you are ready to serve, add another bottle of Ārepa, the rest of the juices and soda water – juice from another orange and lemon – and serve in a chimney glass with an orange slice garnish. Spoon some of the fruit into the bottom of the glass & garnish with fresh berries, too!
