I loved this! I used frozen mint from the last summer garden. Cut the vodka in half and still delivered a nice punch! The freshness of this is just so enlivening and the honey is so warming and relaxing! I LOVED THIS!!!!! Thanks!

Very delicious and refreshing cocktail --perhaps too tasty LOL as it slides down with great ease. But then it is full of fresh fruit juice, so healthy, right? Really did njoy this--thanks, Mary!

Absolutely delicious combination of flavors. This is one of my new favorites as I love grapefruit and lime - and of course, vodka. Thank you for posting another fabulous beverage, Mary. **Made for Beverage tag 2007**
