Yum! I made my simple syrup with Splenda, and it turned out just fine. I also used an extra 3/4 cup of water rather than the ice, as I like my drinks over ice rather than frozen. This is a great recipe. I've never liked the premade bottled mix and this hit the spot. Thanks for sharing. -
Quite tasty! I had to use more lime because my limes were on the small side. Hubby says, "woo hoo!" so this recipe is a keeper. Thanks so much! -
This recipe is great!! I substituted lemon juice for lime juice and they still tasted great!

<p>I am a writer, actor, artist and director of stage plays (not necessarly good, or in that order) & father of six, who started cooking because none of my ex-wifes could. I was owner/operator of SouthWest Outfitters, a mail order spice company that specialized in South West/Mexican spice mixes and recipes (prior to the internet, if you can remember that long ago). My passions are food, eating, cooking, food (did I say that already?), drinking and collecting recipies. Many of my recipies are from scratch origional classics, like the real margarita and authentic Cesar salad. We also raise and show Austrailan Shepards (we have 7).</p>
<p> Between cast parties (from the stage plays) and dog shows (which we host at our property) we often find ourselves cooking for dozens of folks. I hope you will find some of my favorite recipes useful and full of flavor.</p>
