i have made this mix for years but never knew to use brown sugar. boy was i surprised, it does add to the taste. i had a party and made a pitcher of my standard and a pitcher of this mix with the brown sugar. i marked them a and b served a very small sample of each without the vodka and had them vote. 31 people sampled each and the vote was 27 to 4 in favor of the mix with brown sugar. what more needs to be said. may i add one piece of advice, because tomato juice is so acidic, never by in a can only in a bottle, if not you will taste the can on the roof of your mouth

i ran out of store bought and had to find a quick mix fast. maybe its just me but this is the best mix i have ever eaten. i left out the shortning that sounds gross to me. i will never buy store bought again. my overnight guests could not believe it was this good compared to the store bought that was my first batch

how easy can it get. temp got to 300 very quickly. i am going to explore boosting the flavor alittle but it is pretty good as it is. i like it because it is not overly sweet wear an oven mit while stirring
