Reviews
Amazing! So refreshing on a hot summer day. Giada is the best!
I have a sweet tooth but it has way too much sugar. Could use a little more lemon and basil. I made two batches and adjusted on the second run. Came out great after the adjustments
I made this with the tequila – reduced the water and replaced it with the tequila. It was delicious and my guests loved it. Next time I may try it with vodka!
i made this for a brunch and it was wonderful. Best comments were from the men!
This was delicious, also tried it with rum. Both ways are great.
