This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste; I used 3/4 c sugar. Also, the ingredient list does not include lime juice, however, the instructions call for lime juice. This element might have added the extra "spark" and softened the sweetness.

This is delicious. I'd just reduce the sugar--my taste. I prefer it with ice, alone; I tried with food and it didn't work. But it is wonderful by itself. Thanks for sharing it!
