• 3 pour into a 13x9 pan; freeze for 3-4 hours.
• 4 serving suggestion #1: scrape spoons-ful into tall glass, cover with choice of gingerale, sprite or 7-up; stir to mix; add a straw or long-handled spoon; serve.
• 5 garnish with fresh strawberry on a pick-stick or sliced mid-way & perched on the edge of the glass.

• 10 variations: other berries work magnificently for this, too, as well as mangos.
