Looks delicious and so refreshing!
I do not usually use ice, but this does look enticing.
I’m so glad the hot weather will be here soon! This is the first drink I’m having once the weather breaks 80!
This looks wonderful! I would love it if you would link it up to Tipsy Tuesday at Grey is the New Black!
Thanks, Pam…done! And thanks for introducing me to your blog!
