Here's a GREAT SUMMER DRINK! Made as directed, & although, at first I was going to cut back on the sugar, I didn't, & it all turned out just fine! I used sprite for the lemon-lime beverage, but another time I'd like to try either mt dew or squirt! Thanks for sharing! [Made & reviewed in the Family Picks part of Zaar World Tour 4]

I really liked this but others found it to be too sweet. I used cherry-cranberry juice and ginger ale. Very pretty too. Is a great and make it as you need it alternative to punch, punch by the glass, as it were. Makes a lot. I havne't put any alcohol in any servings, but next time I take it out of the freezer.....
