I served these for my birthday dinner. Although mind-numbingly simple, they were quite tasty. The sugar rim was fun -- I served it w/ (brined) BBQ chicken w/ lemon and marjorum, and a pasta salad. I wonder what they'd be like w/ a sprig of mint?07/03/09

These were horrible. Not sweet enough and way too much vodka. I had to really doctor these up.06/04/09
