Helpful Tips

  • Substitute Ingredients: If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, replace Limoncello with lemon juice and a touch of lemon zest for that tangy kick.
  • Frozen Berries: You can use frozen berries if fresh ones are not available. This also eliminates the need for ice cubes.
  • Texture Control: Adjust the smoothie thickness by adding more or less orange juice as needed.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover smoothie in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in an airtight container. Give it a good stir before serving.
