Fresh Lime

Okay so this recipe is really a no-brainer but we love it. We drank fresh limes or limonadas like crazy on our honeymoon in Mexico and this is my re-creation of that. This drink is light and refreshing. You could really use any citrus fruit that you like.


Makes about 8-12 servings (could easily be halved)

Ingredients:
1 recipe sugar syrup (recipe follows)
6 limes, juiced or about 1 cup
2 liters club soda
sugar rimmed glasses with a lime twist (dip glass in lime juice then in sugar finish off with a lime slice)
ice

Sugar Syrup Ingredients:
2 cups sugar
2 cups water
2 limes, zested

Directions:
First make the syrup by boiling sugar and water until sugar is dissolved about 1 minute. Immediately add in lime zest to infuse flavor. Cool completely before using. (Once mixture is cool you could strain out lime zest...but I never do.)

Now just mix everything together (except for the glasses of course) and enjoy!
