This was overall very delicious! It was a little too sweet for me, so I'd probably water it down some the next time (just a cup of water or so). The only change I made to the recipe is that I did not add peaches because they were out of season and I could not find any ANYwhere. The cinnamon and mint flavoring are pretty subtle, but they give it a nice kick, which was also enhanced by the sparkling cider. This is a good, refreshing drink that I will probably make again.

I'm a now vegan who used to make one heck of a souvlaki. I love cooking, I was a huge fan of Moosewood and Molly Katzen prior to going vegan (although that has nothing to do with my choosing the name Katzen - that's just what my German Grandma has called me all my life.) Aside from cooking, I also love scuba diving, cycling, politics, and reading.
