Me too!
DH had a "boys night out" a few weeks ago and so he bought a case of Heinekin to take along. I think he drank one, a few more were consumed by his buddies, and we were left with about 7 here in the garage. Our DS, 13, comes in and asks why we have beer out there! In the end, I kept two (to make beer bread) and he took the other ones to one of his buddies.
One of my favorite "sweeter" versions is orange pop, add some of our cinnamon plus, and Craisins!
My cousin makes hers with Sprite or Ginger Ale instead of beer since she never has beer either!
It's a very versatile mix!
