Note: Thie recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Taste of Summer Cookbook. I tried this beverage recpe this past weekend and it had a nice flavor to it. I would probably use flavored seltzer water instead of water for more flavor and a kick of punch. The 1 1/2 cups water was to watery for the juice.
