This is sooo good. I've seen these drinks in big pitchers in Mexico but been afraid to order due to not wanting to drink the water. It was very easy to make. Very light, refreshing I didn't change a thing. Will definetly make again. Thanks!

This was okay. I don't think I'll spend all that time cutting the fruit for this though. Good, but not that good.
