Comments

Wonderful to make, serve with grilled slices of pineapple, a nice thick NY strip steak, and lots of margaritas or a great cold beer! If you don't "drink", make ice cubes out of a watery-ish white grape juice and plunk down into a glass and pour a concoction of equal parts of gingerale, lime juice and cranberry cocktail.
