yummy! I wanted to make more after I tried a first batch but didn't have enough strawberries so I tried adding peach to the strawberries and that was also really good. Thanks for the recipe! For Tastebud Tickling Travellers ZWT4

This is wonderfully easy and so refreshing! The lemon juice gave it a nice tang. I really want to try this again with a hit of vodka or rum!

This is delicious. My DH and I loved it. I followed the ingredients but had to use frozen strawberries. Made for 1,2,3 Hit wonders tag 2007.
