Perfect for the holidays and just about anytime the girls get together. I have made various versions of this but this is a bit different. Enjoy! Be sure to chill everything ahead of time so the ice doesn't melt too quickly. Who needs a watered down bellini! From Giada's Kitchen: New Italian Favorites Ingredients:
1 cup water |
