Made a full recipe for a backyard BBQ with friends today & everyone loved it! Very refreshing, easy to make & a perfect balance between sweet & tart. We brought vodka but alas, it's not a gluten free brand so we couldn't use it there. Next time we make it at home we'll test drive the hard lemonade. :) Thanks for sharing GW! Made & enjoyed for ZWT5 - Ali Baba's Babes.
