Refreshing! Made using Splenda and it was great. Was so refreshing on a hot day and a great complement to our meal. Thanks so much for the post.

This is one very refreshing beverage. But that not the best of it. We started making cocktails using this as the base and adding coconut rum. Very Nice!! I will be making this again and real soon. Made for ZWT5 Dining Daredevils.

I thought all that lime zest would be nasty (texturally) but it's no different than OJ w/lots of pulp which is how *I* like it, lol. Very refreshing. I had a sudden craving for mojitos..... I'll bet you could use this to make a mean mojito. ;) Made for ZWT5...the Stowaways....
