Super yummy! Way to go Gina!
Excellent! Will make again.
this is deligious and light and makes for a nice not too sweet cocktail. Unfortunately, my blender was not big enough for a full serving so it did not get slushy enough for me. It is still a BIG hit
I made these yesterday for a party and everyone loved them. This has become our new summer drink. Thanks!
Neither my husband or I like mixed drinks, but this is the exception!!!! Don’t care for vodka so we used tequila instead and will now live on the patio permanently-this goes with anything.
My husband and I LOVE this drink–it’s sweet, but not disgustingly sweet and very refreshing! I love the ginger twist–very different!
I just watched this episode and they used fresh ginger root.
This cocktail is so tasty and the perfect accompaniment to this meal. I only had a mango flavored vodka in my kitchen so I decided to use that instead of running to the store just to get a plain vodka. One sip of the drink and you’ll go “wow! this is really really good!” My husband and I enjoyed this refreshing cocktail very much!
The “lemon drop” is my favorite cocktail! This is an interesting and delicious twist which is now my favorite! Thank you Gina! I love watching you and Pat. You truly do have the best food and recipes. Oh and I love the pink pig bar :).

I tried this an it was a hit at my gathering. I added a half a cup of GingerAle an I also tried it with Rum and Gin instead of Vodka an it was just as good.
