It's sweeter than I remember.fashiongirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10352802688430290478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024831534778489143.post-58043248639798778032008-07-24T16:45:00.000-05:002008-07-24T16:45:00.000-05:00I'd go for more vodka and less Roses or half Roses...I'd go for more vodka and less Roses or half Roses and half fresh lime, but I'm a sourpussmodernemamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00837091713842104507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024831534778489143.post-56171355219306361832008-07-24T16:16:00.000-05:002008-07-24T16:16:00.000-05:00Yum.
