    I have made this recipe several times, and have made a few little changes. I like it a little less sweet, so I cut down on the simple syrup by half, and add extra rum. I like to mix this with champagne, and it is absolutely delicious!!!!

    This is a great cocktail recipe. Maybe just a little more rum :

    First of all, it all has to be strained before pouring it into glasses; otherwise, it tastes like a gritty salad. It also is awfully sweet. Still there is a rather nice flavor.

    Tastes like a summer day in the sun. Refreshing, unique, minty and sweet. As I do for almost all Giada drink recipes, I highly recommend cutting the amount of sugar in half. I garnish mine with a mint leaf to make it more fragrant. Warning: might not be a great date drink, as you tend to get specks of mint in your teeth! :-D

    Great drink. I found the syrup a bit too sweet so next time I will likely cut the sugar by 1/2 and possibly add more lime juice to the drink. I didn't strain the lime zest out of the syrup. I used frozen dark (sweet cherries.

    These are amazing! I only used 1/2 of the simple syrup as per the suggestions here. I also only used 1/2 the mint. They turned out a little slushy but I think using only 1/2 the syrup is why. Next time I will not add the ice to the blender and just add it to the glasses. Great recipe, very refreshing!

    Delish!!! I made the simple syrup with 1 cup of sugar rather than 2 cups. I only added half a cup of the simple syrup to the pitcehr and it was sweet enough. Perfect, but it is very thick at first so you may not need ice until the pitcher comes to room temp.

    LOVED these! I used about 3/4 cup of the syrup and a little less mint for my taste. I plan on making these for Valentine's Day :

    Incredible, great for summer, very refreshing. However, very sweet. I think I may try it with strawberries.
