Last night I bottled my first batch which I named strawberry margarita (fresh strawberries with some lime juice) and my third batch which I decided to try my own thing and it came out perfect!

Thanks I'll take note of that !

When I found this site I felt like I struck gold I started reading so many threads and saw lots of information too much to take in at once and I love that everyone is so welcoming that's one thing I noticed about every crafting community I have joined tons of support across the board

Thanks I have a knack for making things (cooking, baking, lots of crafts) so I know sometimes your first try is a jumping off point and it'll be a learning process but I enjoy that process and it's amazing to have found a great community just doing some research before I get my little toes wet
