Yummy! I am always looking for new drinks to try. I followed this recipe but used organic sugar and frozen strawberries, that's what I had on hand. The flavors were fantastic, the vanilla was the key to it all. I served this with scrambled eggs with spinach, greeen onions and swiss cheese, spicy bacon twist and lemon pull-apart coffee cake, (the last 2 are from this website).It was the best breakfast I'd served. My husband claimed even Gordon Ramsey would be proud!
