I made this exactly as written but without the ice only because my ice maker isn't working and I don't have trays to make any. That didn't seem to matter. This was very citrussy and very refreshing! Gave me a pucker at 1st sip, I love that! Made this for Comfort Cafe Summer 09.

This was really tasty, which the citrus really came out. And it was very refreshing. I am not sure if I measured correctly, as my cocktail came out more of an orange color (not so red). But irrespective of that, it sure was tasty. Made for New Kids On The Block tag game, April 2009.
