This was good, but I couldn't handle more than a cup of it. Not because of the alcohol - because of the sugar. Yikes!

This was great for our Halloween party. We added some gummy worms to add to the creepy Halloween feel, and they tasted great in it too. We also put some dry ice in it and it stayed cold the whole evening, plus there was some nice fog creeping out of it in the beginning. We also doubled the rum as someone else suggested, it kept it from being too sweet. Were doing a modified version of it for a birthday party this weekend, exchanging half the limeade for more lemonade and the lime sherbert for lemon, more of an alcoholic lemonade with the sherbert on top. You really cant taste the alcohol in it, so keep that in mind.

Made this & liked it! We made it for St. Patricks Day to add a "fun" green drink. We made it in a punch bowl and served it on martini glasses. It was cute....but could also see making this on a hot summer day!

Made this for my halloween party and it was a total hit! I didn't have any lemon-lime carbonated beverage, but I did have some cranberry sierra mist so I used that instead. Ended up being pink, so people were really confused, but it still came out amazing and people drank it all up! I used Coconut Parrot Bay for the rum, it went great with the lime flavor! I can't wait to try this again, by sticking closer to the recipe. It's a keeper!

I made this stuff for my 21st birthday/Halloween party and, despite going through some improv alterations, it was sooo good! I halved the recipe and used pineapple sherbet in place of lime and lemon-lime seltzer water when I meant to grab soda, and someone added a bunch of coconut vodka in addition to the rum. We made it in a big plastic cauldron with a hunk of dry ice, which turned it into a smoking slushy drink! Deliciously tangy, not too sweet or sour -- by far the best drink I've made.

pretty good stuff. I made half with rum and half without for my "green" new years party. Both were gone before midnight! I think the rum really added something to it. It's a bit sweet for drinking all the time, but great for parties!

Very good! Made as directed but in the non-alcoholic form for a trunk or treat event. Everyone loved it!

It was quite tasty. I definitely agree with the reviews that have you nearly double the amount of rum to cut the tartness. It almost reminded me of a margarita.

This was so easy to make and perfect for our annual Halloween party. I froze pink lemonade in a spider-shaped tray and served it in a witches cauldron with the pink spider in the green punch. Delicious! I did use diet lemon-lime beverage and this did not detract from the flavor. Fair warning: the alcohol is not noticeable in this!
