Plan on making this for the up coming 4th of July. Can either peach or mango nectar be subbed in place of apricot? My store has the first two, but not the apricot. Hope someone out there can help me. I will post a review after the 4th.

This was out of this world! Very nice mix of flavors and very refreshing. Had to look a bit to find apricot nectar, but it was so worth the effort! I personally had to water the mix down because the flavors are so intense, but that means I got nearly a gallon to enjoy!

This beverage is delicious. Unique combination of flavors. I especially like the addition of apricot nectar. I did not use mint sprigs, but I was very pleased with the results even without them.
