1 1/2 cup of water AND 1 1/2 cup sugar? Or 1 1/2 cup water AND 1 cup of sugar?
Very good recipe. We loved these drinks!!!
Delicious
Great recipe, have made it several times- always get asked for the recipe. Good ” beach house ” recipe
Trying this today to see if I can use it for my upcoming Derby party. I’m going to substitute Simply Lemonade for the 1 cup of lemon juice and 1 1/2 cups of syrup. Hopefully this will work just as well.
This was delicious! I used 2 meyer lemons and 2 regular lemons and one large juicy orange. I infused my simple syrup with a little bit of mint. We love bourbon, so this will be made again, maybe a pool drink for Memorial day!! Thanks Bobby!
