Very good! I add 1/4 cup fresh lime juice. I also take the rind off. Another way to serve is to soak for 1 hour and then put a popsicle stick on and freeze for 1 hour. Fun!
Actually you should bring only the sugar and water to a boil, just until the sugar dissolves. Let it cool then add in your liquor. This way the heat does not burn the alcohol out. I know I'm a pastry student.
This stuff is awesome, my family ate it up so fast we had to do a second one. It really taste good!
