It's a hot day in the south and I had all the ingredients to make this refreshing drink...even the fresh mint leaves. Will serve it for my bridge group next week. Thanks for the recipe, Sandy.

I am with diannehocut. Real hot on the water here in the south. I'm making this in a few so I can sit on the front of my boat and watch the sun go down. Great post. 5 forks
