For a more intense pink color, add an additional drop or two of red food coloring. The syrup can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Experiment with other citrus fruits like limes or oranges for garnish. For a sugar-free option, use a sugar substitute appropriate for boiling, but be mindful it can change the syrup's texture. Consider using natural food coloring alternatives, such as beet juice for a more muted, natural pink hue.
