This little delight comes courtesy of my mother-in-law and she got it from Southern Living magazine.  She served it to the girls for Mother’s Day and it was a refreshing, lip smacking addition to a beautiful day…

    This sounds like a perfect warm weather drink. I actually keep a jug of simple syrup in my fridge for just such an occasion. I think I'll whip one of these beauties up tomorrow!
