Very delicious! I made this this afternoon as we're having some people come over for lunch tomorrow; so I plan to serve this tomorrow afternoon. But the big question is - Will it remain till tomorrow?! With bro. and me in the house, and, I really have this need to have orange and lime juice today, so, hmm, I dont know if we will let this remain till tomorrow. It's truly good! Thank YOU for posting, Auntie Bev'll! -
I made two batches of this yummy cooler. I poured it into gallon-size jugs and put them in the freezer. I thawed out one jug today for all the company I have around here. We thought this was a wonderful fresh citrus flavored drink that kept us cool and refreshed. Thanks Bev. Happy Fourth of July. -
This was delicious! I think next time I'll add some ginger ale for an extra bit of sparkle.

This is a great summer drink, and is also good with a little rum, to bring you truly to the Keys!
