So easy & good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We had Brut champagne on hand so I did not purchase Prosecco. Coincidently, we also had lemonade on hand. So I added a shot... of lemonade since the champagne was not sweet champagne. I also did not use mint, but think it would be even better with the mint. This was really good and my guests enjoyed too, will definitly make them again. However, its not a good drink if you're going to drink a few of them in an evening - as you'll get too drunk. Read more

Delicious

Very refreshing and light. I used sherbert ( last minute shopping) and it was still quite lovely. Our Easter brunch was a... delighted party because of this drink!Read more

Ditto on refreshing

After reading the other reviews, I first tried the drink without the mint, and as one reviewer commented, it had a strong... alcohol taste, maybe even bitter. But, I read from another review that chopping the mint wasn't such a good idea either. Instead, I crushed it at the bottom of the cup with the handle of a wooden spoon (as you would do for a mojito). That made the difference. It changed the drink completely, and I would recommend to others who make it to crush the mint at the bottom rather than chop it or eliminate it. The mint is the perfect compliment to the other ingredients. Beware -- it's strong! I might use a little less vodka next time. (I "eyeballed" it instead of measuring and that might have done me in.)Read more
