Commentary:
I first discovered this a few years ago when I was still living on campus at NU. I wanted some OJ and had some leftover wine. I wasnt until my last international flight that I reintroduced myself to this drink. I got some looks from the flight attendant when I ordered it but those looks faded away with my first sip....yummy. Add a splash of strawberry nectar for a great summery taste. I hope you enjoy!
