I followed others advice and added more water, but it was still too sweet. Will make the following changes next time: will make the crystal light with at least 4 cups of water, then add 1 1/2-2 cups vodka and let people top off their own drinks with club soda. May also try unsweetened cran juice as it was soooo sweet! This recipe does not make much for a party, so may want to double the recipe.
