Review:
This is a delicious drink! It is sweet with a hint of mint and has a lovely green color. I also tried it with ½ ounce of bourbon added to it and it was great! It does make it less sweet and changes the color, but it enhances the other flavors of the drink. Overall this is a very refreshing drink and is great for spring and summer! This recipe will make just enough syrup for two drinks, so make sure to multiply the syrup recipe if you want more!
