It might not have been the warmest of days when I made these, but we had GREAT BERRY SODAS, for sure! I did cut the recipe in half for the 2 of us, pureed frozen strawberries & managed to find some fresh raspberries! Even went the extra mile (for me, anyway!) & followed the recipe (minus the cherry brandy) right down to the last mint leaf & berry! This is definitely 'a special drink!'
