OMG this is FABULOUS!!!! I read the recipe and thought, vodka, YES. Then I thought, "Jenne, use the gin and see how it works." SO glad I did. This is super with the gin. I cut the recipe in half and it made enough for a martini glass. I added extra ice at the end, as it was a tad too sweet. SO fab. . .will definitely make this again!!! Thanks! Made for AUS/NZ Swap June 2009.

I live in Keilor Downs, Victoria in Australia. I am a receptionist in Melbourne. My favorite cook books are anything Weight Watchers or Simply 2 good 2 be true also any muffin or scone cook books. I love cooking easy stuff but I love a challange ocasionaly on the weekends when i have a bit more time. My pet peeve is how much capsicum/bell peppers are in recipes now as i am elergic to them.
