Substituted agave nectar for the sugar and it was fantastic! Quarter the recipe and it made 1-1/2 drinks. Because of that, I think I'll add another shot of tequila. Party's on!

I felt like the lime was overpowering. . .so next time I would start with 1/2 of what it calls for and then go from there. Overall quite yummy!

Love fresh strawberry flavor. Used blood orange juice and a shot of orange liquor to the ingredients listed. Used agave setup instead of sugar.... this is more authentic sweetener.

Yum! I used about 1 oz lime juice and thought the ratio was perfect.

Very good. Hard to believe but we had some left over. Poured into an ice cube tray and served the next day, slightly thawed, in club soda. Very refreshing.
