Very fun! Looked great and my guests loved it. It was similar to a margarita and the colors stayed separated while you drank it. I'll definitely make them again.

I followed directions, but my drink was not nearly as vibrantly colored - I guess you need a food stylist and great lighting... but it tasted great. A good cocktail for Memorial Day as well!
