I just might have found my newest favorite cocktail. This was delightful. I am not sure why it blends up so nicely, but I think maybe the zesty citrus touch offsets the alcohol kick. Whatever the case may be, it sure was wonderful. Made for Football tag game 2011. Thanks for posting the recipe, ratherbeswimmin'.
