Great drink to have at home as long as you don't have to drive. We don't like beer, so replaced that with a splash of sprite. Also I use gin instead of tequila. You absolutely cannot taste the alcohol, so do not serve this at a party and allow people to drive home after-wards.

Wow......this is great! The only reason I rated it 4 stars is because if you actually added the amount of sugar called for it would be way to sweet. I cut the sugar down to a little less than a cup. I also used more schnapps, actually the entire bottle (5th) but did add more water. Couldn't wait for it to freeze so put it in the freezer for a couple hours and then put some crushed ice in a glass, some of the drink mixture, then filled the rest of the glass up with Sprite. Fantastic! Sure it will be even better once its actually frozen. Only caution is that even with a 5th of Peach Schnapps, this does not taste like it has alcohol in it so be careful & be sure to keep it away from kids. They will definitely think its is just a slushy. Great summer drink!!

This is a fantastic basic cooking method. I wanted Italian Beef so changed it a bit I marinated a 4 lb roast by using 3 envelopes of Italian Dressing, 1/2 tsp of Italian Seasoning, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, 1/4 cup olive oil & the juice of 2 lemons. Mixed this all together then placed the roast in a bag & poured in the marinade. Massage the meat & let it sit at least overnight then cook according to the recipe. If you can, turn the meat several times while it is in the marinade. Mine actually was in the marinade for about 18 hours. I did find that it did not need to stay in the oven for 2 hours. I pulled it when the temp read 145 degrees & it still ended up more medium than medium rare. A meat thermometer is a must for this recipe. I wrapped the whole thing in foil & refrigerated the cooked roast overnight which helped to seal in the moisture & allow the seasoning to penetrate the meat even more. Sliced it paper thin for sandwiches tonight. My sons said it was as good as Portillo's and if anyone is from Chicago, you know that is a true compliment. Now I just need to work on the Portillo's chocolate cake!
