  1. This is the most refreshing drink I have had on a hot summer day! When you add the ingredients in the correct amounts (I had to make it several times and try more of this and less of that) it is superb! An absolutel MUST when you are having company in the summer.
     
  2. I made this for my class project, and everyone loved it. Thx v. much!!!
     
  3. I served this on Christmas Eve to a gathering of 20 family members... We ALL loved it!!!!
     
  4. VERY TART and VERY REFRESHING! I mixed the chilled syrup with the lemon juice and then used it in individual glasses as I felt like some. I used 6 packets of splenda to a tall glass to give it some sweetness. Next time I may try boiling the lemon zest with the raspberries next time and straining it.
     
  5. A cooling, refreshing drink that goes perfectly with a meal from the grill. This was wonderfully tart, definitely fizzy, and had a lovely fresh berry flavor. Thanks, Bev.
