• FORGOT to chill the glass — the cocktail lost its icy crispness. Solution: pre-chill for 15 minutes.
• DUMPED in too much liqueur — turned into a syrupy mess. Measure carefully to keep balance.
• OVER-TORCHED the sugar rim — it turned bitter and burnt. Use a gentle blowtorch flame just until golden.

**QUICK FIXES THAT SAVE YOUR DAY**

• When the cocktail is too sour, splash in a dash more apple schnapps to balance sweetness.
• Patch the color by adding a tiny amount of green food coloring until vibrant.
• Shield the rim from burning by lowering your torch and moving quickly over the sugar.
• When you forgot to strain the ice, quickly scoop out large chunks for a cleaner look.
• When the drink lacks shimmer, stir in a pinch of edible glitter—shimmering potions enchant instantly.
