  1. AWESOME BEVERAGE, Auntie Dorothy!! This drink is sooooooooo good, this recipe should be in the TOP 10 on Zaar! I hope you get many pleasant reviews for this one. This one's got such a pretty pink colour, an addictive taste, and most of all, I like it because it's low in saturated fat and uses fresh fruit. I really "adore" this drink and I want to send you a 1000 thanks for posting it. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! With the summer setting in, I can guarantee you I'll be making this very often. Thank you so much BIG HUGS to YOU for a beautiful summer drink for my family, friends and me.
     
  2. I made this for Easter dinner and it was big hit! I wanted it fizzy so I used Sprite Zero in place of the water, and used probably 6 cups worth. I didn't have Splenda so I added about 1/4 c sugar to the lime juice and strawberries when I blended them. My family loved it and everyone was upset when it was gone!
     
  3. Excellent - Tastes like a Strawberry daiquiri! I followed the recipe exactly. I did use my immersion blender to puree the strawberies with the lime juice, and also put the mixture through a seive to eliminate the seeds. While we use a lot of splenda in our cooking, I'd probably follow the advice and use 1/2 sugar and 1/2 splenda if making for guests. Very refreshing and loaded with Vitamin C!
     
  4. Wow! This is so good. I used half fresh lime juice and half bottled. I also used 1/2 cup of real sugar in place of some of the Splenda as I think this approach makes things taste a little better. I will definitely make this again.
