Additional Information

Garnish with a selection of chopped peppers, hard boiled egg or a slice of lemon, add ice cubes and serve If you really cannot wait a few hour will do I sometimes add herbs such as parsly or tarragon to it if serving at a dinner party but herb in to the ice cubes before freezing its a very nice touch
