  1. This is so good. I made it for my son. I think that for him it was a bit too tart. But for me, it's perfect. Thanks Marg :) Made for All you can cook buffet
     
  2. A nice fruity drink with a great mix of flavors. We did think it was too sweet for our tastes, even with leaving out the sugar, so this is definitely for people who love their beverages very sweet.
     
  3. I mixed everything first but the grenadine and put it in the refrigerator the night before. This one is so pretty when the grenadine cascaded down the side of the glass pitcher. Then I mixed it all together. I could not find the orgeat syrup so used almond extract. Then the next week I went on the net and looked up a recipe to make the orgeat syrup, recipe #166333. Anyway this drink was very good and so easy to make. I served this drink with the appetizers for the kids. I made this for my daughter, her date and 5 other of her friends that came over to have their dinner here before Prom this spring. They thought it was pretty cool eating dinner with my fine china and linens. Oh yes, I even had my set of double candlesticks on the table for them.
     
  4. Not being able to drink alcoholic beverages, I am always on the lookout for interesting non-alcoholic drinks. This one is now one of my favorites, and I have served it to company many times and it is always a hit.

Yet another feature change that has made the website less user friendly. It's sad to watch a fantastic site deteriorate over the years. Some of my recipes are on my blog.
