I first made this for my best friend and her hubby. They went crazy! I had to make a second batch when the neighbors arrived. Everyone loved them and were impressed. I love making them and serving them to those I care for. Keep up the great work!!

I enjoyed these! Not a big gin fan so substituted vodka. Refreshing, but don’t drink too many………
Summer refreshment on steroids! This drink was the perfect companion to the grilled halibut & grilled vegetables from same episode. The drink + the meal made me feel like I was away on a summer tropical vacation! Thanks Bobby!
