Refreshing, tangy, not too sweet with a pleasant hint of mint. Perfect drink for summer.

I made this on Easter Sunday and it was incredible!!! Since we had a large family over for lunch, I did not add any mint. The entire family raved about the drink...even little ones with picky taste buds! However, I have made this recipe before WITH the mint, and I loved it! Very refreshing and will keep as a staple recipe for any gatherings/BBQs!
