Reviews
These are very refreshing and healthy. If you want to kick it up a notch, add a tsp.(to taste) of Worcestershire Sauce when mixing and float 1/2 oz of Vodka after pouring in glass. I have also added a cooked, peeled, deveined shrimp on top. You might need a larger shot glass though . . .Lovely!
