    I really want to make this recipe, but can you tell me where I can get the pink hippo? LOL I'm the only person alive who can kill mint. If any of mine (potted) has survived, I'll have to make the hippo-free version! LOVE ME SOME LEMONS!

    The hippo was a lil tricky to find, but there she is! ;) Seriously, a must have around here for summer time...and then mint just makes an already refreshing drink that much more so. Great addition to the site! :)

    I have a pink elephant that's left over from my college days, would that work instead of the hippo? Love the Mark Twainish quote about being kicked from behind. My favorite Twainism is "If you're being run out of town, get out in front and make it look like a parade!" Cheers!

    You did it again...you made me laugh and I love you for that ( in a friendly way I mean) a 5 as big as a hippo.
    I love it the way hippos charge and half way to the target forget where they were going.
    Makes this kind of special.

    Ok so I have everything except I had to substitute a gray Hippopotamus for a pink one and I am having trouble getting it into the jug.

    Hei! I'll try this! I'm pregnant and I'm tired of drinking plain water. I wish I can try it with the vodka though :P. Until the breastfeeding days are over. :( Thanks!

    Sounds delish. The apple mint I just planted should really be good in the "pink" lemonade.
