I was able to easily find the raspberry-cranberry concentrate in the frozen juice case at the grocery store. Made exactly as stated, only I cut the recipe in half as it was just DH & I drinking these at lunch today. Absolutely delicious! Addicting too! Half a recipe was perfect for two drinks each. The flavors of raspberry, cranberry & lime really do go well together & it is (still sipping on it as I type) very refreshing on a warm Spring day. Thanks for sharin', Bren! I think we'll be making this one a lot this summer. :) UPDATE: Have made this again already & have been keeping it in a Tupperware container in the freezer. LOL It looks a little strange... mommy using a toddler spoon & eating out of the fridge. But it's a nice, perfectly slushy 2-3 bite snack after dinner. Made for Zaar World Tour 5. - Ali Baba's Babes

YUMMMMM! This is sweet and tart, very tasty and pretty! I wanted to make this since the start of the tour, but kept skipping over it, I'm so glad I finally got to it! I cut the recipe down to one serving but it's still enough for two. It could probably use even a little more of the tequila and triple sec but I used up my triple sec with this and didn't want to mess up the balance. I had to pick the raspberries out of my 3 berry blend so it did have some blueberries and blackberries added in. The sugar didn't do anything for me - I'd skip it the next time I make it. Thanks Brenda for sharing your lovely recipe. Made for ZWT 5 Family Picks by one of the Cooks With Dirty Faces
