This was a little too strong for me and my guests. I think next time I will double the juice used in it. But it was a great combination of flavors.

Pretty tasty!!! The big bummer for us is that we had to use navel oranges and we were missing that lovely color that makes this drink so pretty. I think I'll cut back on the lime a bit next time-- they added such a lovely bite but were just a tad too acidic. Will definitely try again and will tweak it to our liking. Thanks for an awesome post!
