Fantabulous! This is a refreshing, wonderful drink that made a hard day on the farm great to come home to. Easy to put together and the taste outstanding. The sugar cube was such a nice touch. I am always trying to find little treats to sneak in a sugar cube and this was it! Thank you so much Engrossed! Made for *ZWT4* June 2008.

Delicious! Since I made this 2 days ago, my DH keeps asking me to make another one. We really liked this one. A nice non-alcoholic, original drink Thanks for posting. Made for ZWT4.

Made these for the kids yesterday to accompany us as dad and me drank our more adult caipirinhas. Used sprite instead of ginger ale as I wasn't able to find any. The kids really liked these.

Yum! We had these before dinner and we all enjoyed them. IT was so quick to put together. I love citrus flavours and this was perfect for me. Thank you Engrossed - *Made for Zaar World Tour 4*

I am always on the lookout for new non-alcoholic drinks because I don't drink much, largely due to not liking a 'boozey' taste to drinks. This was very tasty and best of all it is a cocktail the whole family can enjoy together so both the kids and the adults that don't drink or are the drivers can enjoy the party together. Proof that you don't need booze in a drink for it to be tasty. We even have rare sunshine in London today for it to feel like the right setting for such a drink. Made for ZWT4.
