Recipe

• 1 measure all ingredients into a large container, stirring to mix.

• 4 serve chilled, with celery sticks and lemon (or lime) wedges for garnish, if desired.
• 5 option: strain before serving.
• 6 (some people prefer not to have lots of'stuff' floating around in their glass. personally, i find it part of the appeal of homemade as opposed to sto' bought-- but it's your call.).
