This recipe is way too sweet as written. Giada must have a much larger sweet tooth than I do! I found that 1/2 cup mint simple syrup was the perfect sweetness level for me, plus a little vodka for good measure :- Note, Giada does not zest the citrus in the video, so I also skipped this step to avoid bits of zest in my drink. With my adjustments, I would give the drink 4-5 stars.

this was great - but like others, I cut way back on the mint simple syrup. I halved it and then added two bottles of champagne instead of one. It was fantastic.
