This is really that good. Tart, refreshing, and boozy, it is easy to make because no simple syrup is needed. I'm not sure why they say 2 cubes of ice, I needed 4 to get it cold, but I suppose you could chill the glass. Again, it is so easy! I didn't have plain seltzer but the pomegranate that I did have was delicious with the lime.

Yes, it is that good. Tart, refreshing, yet boozy. Easy to make because no simple syrup needed… the cointreau added nice flavor. Not sure how they decided on two cubes, I needed 4 but I guess you could chill the glass. I will definitely be making this drink again.
