This was just awesome! I did put it in a newly purchased fountain, and what a surprise I didn't even know the fountain had lights! This was great tasting and made the centerpiece of the graduation party a huge hit, with the numbers 2007 hanging over it in a silver sparkle. Thanx for a great and easy recipe that really helped make the party a complete success!
