Fantastic!!! I have a red currant bush so I used my harvest from it. It is a beautiful color. It tastes wonderful. I drink it straight up. It's so smooth I don't even need to use a mixer. Everyone who has tried it, likes it. I am planning on making more next season to give as gifts b/c it is so popular!
