Recipe Notes

Love these! Thanks for sharing!
The are perfect for a summer bridal shower or ladies brunch!
Wow, this look deliscious! Great for out at the pool.
If you get a chance to make them, please come back and rate the recipe.
These sound good (and easy!). I think I might take them to the end-of-the-semester pot luck next Monday.
Question: Do you think regular limes will work? I know there isn’t anything like key limes but I’m not sure my local markets carry them.
Regular limes will be fine! Enjoy!!!
