It is WONDERFUL!!! I've made it a few times now & everyone loves it! Its not really suppossed to be slushy, also instead of plain Ginger Ale, I use Diet Cranberry Ginger Ale. One party they started added wine & said it tasted like a wine cooler. Another woman added her Mimosa with it & loved it. Both times I made it I didnt even get to add the lime slices & they said they didnt care....HTH :chef:
