fruity not boozy
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I'm not big on alcoholic drinks but really liked these. I cut the alcohol by about 1/3 and added about a 1/2 cup more... lemon/lime juice. Couldn't get the layered effect, but it still looks great all swirled together. the mango and strawberry accent the alcohol perfectly.Read more

Great taste- No layers!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

While the recipe had a great taste, both individual parts and the overall mixture, I had difficulty getting the proper... thickness to allow layering of the three separate parts. The fruit layers are heavy and wanted to sink in the middle, so that there were no clear lines or layers.Read more
