I really enjoyed the fruit and fizz together. I used a frozen berry blend rather then fresh fruit, and after reading the other reviews about the tartness, I decided to use rasberry syrup in place of the sugar along with plain club soda. I probably used close to a couple of tablespoons. This made enough enough for two of us to enjoy. Made for the Comfort Cafe July 09

This is an excellant drink Engrossed, I enjoyed it very much. I made this little treat for my breakfast this morning, It was refreshing, sweet, tart and tangy. Just packed with flavour. I used a Black currant Soda, was it good. Thanks so much for sharing.

The colour of this is just beautiful & you imagine all the good anti-oxidants doing their work as you drink it. I served it with club soda as that's all I had but it really wasn't sweet enough for me. I would suggest serving with lemonade or something with a bit of sweetness. I would like to try this again with a different soda type & perhaps revise my rating. Thanks!
