This was such a great beverage. It was somewhat sweet and a little tart, but quite refreshing and tasty. I loved the addition of the Ginger Ale because it added a nice zingy flavor to the drink. I used about half of the mint called for in the recipe (only because I ran out of fresh mint), but it was still quite good. Thanks for sharing your recipe, duonyte.

Is this ever GOOD! It’s so refreshing and clean tasting. A seriously delicious drink and I can’t wait to make this over the summer when it’s hot and sultry out. The lemon partnered perfectly with the mint. I first thought the amount of vodka may be a bit too much, but it wasn’t at all, it went down so smooth that you can barely tell there is any vodka, which can be dangerous. Yum, yum! Thank you, duonyte, for sharing. Made it for “Players Favorites - 5 Star Gems”.

My screen name is a diminutive in Lithuanian for bread, so you won't be suprised to learn that I love to bake bread. In recent years I have been baking a lot of sourdough breads and have several starters sitting in my refrigerator. But I like to cook a lot of other things, as well, especially from various cultures. The cat wishes I would concentrate on meat and fish... I joined a few years ago but started posting recipes and participating in forums just recently - I wish I had done so earlier. Recipezaar is a great community! Right now I am a co-host for the Breads and Baking and the Eastern Europe forums - I hope to see you there!
