I had never even heard of this drink before I tried it. I did not find it too sweet but I did think more lime was better. I made a half recipe and I drank the whole thing! Thanks for a great recipe. Next time I will make enough for my family to try!

Cant believe I forgot to review this. I made this for a Mexican themed dinner party years ago and people are STILL raving about it! I've made it a few times since and will be making it again!

A HUGE success! To tell the truth, I didn't expect such a wonderful fruity depth of flavor. It is astonishingly refreshing. Perhaps just a little sweet for my taste. Next time I will reduce the sugar a bit and increase the lime juice. It has my highest recommendation! The layering effect after chilling for several hours was interesting too.

This is so refreshing and extremely easy to prepare. I used a seedless watermelon so I did not have any cute seeds to add, but I did swipe a lime wedge around the edge of my glass and dip it into a saucer of sugar. I will be making this recipe again and again!
