The weekend is near, here is another refreshing cocktail you may like to try. The flavours are lovely for me.
If you prefer it a little weaker, just dilute with some sparkling water, you can add some mint leaves if you like also. It is quite sour from the limes, so you may need to add extra sugar-it depends on how tart your limes are.
