Review:
This drink has a good balance between tart and sweet. I really enjoyed the combination of the citrus flavors with huckleberry. It reminds me of a mocktail and could definitely be used as a mixer as well. Adding a shot of vodka or tequila to this drink would make a great cocktail! This recipe can easily be scaled up and served in a pitcher for a party!
