My first time trying it, it tasted pretty good but I don't like the sugar(Too Sweet) but the second one tasted better with (Salt) -
Sickly sweet with "prepared sweet & sour mix" - the revival of cocktails didn't happened, huh?<br/>Only good, if your tastebuds are deep in the 80's! -

5 stars! My neighbor brought me back some great 100% agave tequila from Cabo and I made this drink! It was a huge hit, will be making this for my euchre bbq -
Very good, but sweet. I made a pitcher of these and every drop gone at the Girl's movie night.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I grew up in Tucson but moved to Colorado in 1989 and live in a household with my husband, Dad, daughter and 3-year old twin granddaughters. Our 8-year old grandson spends 2 nights a week with us. All of that adds up to often difficult menu ideas to met everyone's tastes.
Zaar is very addicting and I love trying the recipes I find here. I like to find recipes of people that I see are still active on Zaar and love it when I hear back from the Chef after I review the recipe. Everytime someone reviews one of my recipes, I like to find one of theirs to make and review as quickly as possible. It's a way for me to find great chefs I don't know yet too!
My husband has high blood sugar so we try to watch our carbs, but it is not easy because we love them so much!
I was diagnosed with brain tumors in 2005 and so far have had 5 surgeries that have left my eyelid droopy. I hope to have a surgery that will correct that soon!! There is still one tumor they have not removed but my wonderful doctor James Garrity at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN says they will leave it alone until or if it ever causes problems!
