Summer Cooler recipe...butCan you guys give me a hand modifying it.Sooooo..... recipe from here But what the heck are agave and seltzer and what could we substitute as I suspect we can't get them here. Any thoughts? |

Seltzer is just fizzy water/soda water. Agave syrup is sugary syrup. You could use honey. |

Isn't Tequila made from fermented agave juice? I don't suppose you could use that as a substitute even if it does take away the taste of the dandelion leaves. |

If you were in France would a dandelion and tequila cocktail be a pisenlita? |

I seem to remember that our local chinese supermarket sells Agave juice in cartons. |

Arvo's in Somerset though. |

Blimey. You lot *rock*.
But sorrel or dandelion leaves? That is the question. |
| sean |
Sorrel tastes nicer than dandelion. IMHO |

I would use a standard sugar syrup (50/50 water & sugar) or corn syrup in place of Agave. Honey has too much of a distinctive flavour. Agave syrup doesn't really taste of much. |
