Refreshing!!!
Did I love this drink!!! I had friends over for a barbecue and it was so hot! Nothing is more refreshing than a cool fruit drink. I did use Splenda instead of sugar, but it tasted just the same because I used sugar for the children. We couldn't tell the difference. Thank you so much for cooling off our evening!!!
