YES...you can add alcohol!


By girlichef (Visit website)



While Agua de Jamaica is fantastic on its own...flavorful with health benefits...it mixes up perfectly in a cocktail, too Dani.  I apologize for the quick posts this weekend...unless you're enjoying the quickies, in which case, I do what I can...I've been dealing with some sort of "bug" that is ravaging my sinuses and internal functions, so I'm just pulling out some photos that have been waiting in the wings...for their moment in the spotlight.  Just looking at the computer screen for this short amount of time has made me dizzy all over again...ugh.  Mommy.

juice of 2 oranges

fruits for bottom, cut as seen fit:
