BEST Lime-aid recipe - (Well IMHO)

[C5Nate]

8 oz Real Lime (or fresh squeezed)

1/2 to 1 full cup of sugar (I like mine a bit tart so I go 1/2 cup)

Dissolve sugar into lime juice to make a syrup.

Pour 1 1/2 oz (or one shot) of the syrup into a tall glass.

Pour in 1 - 12 oz can of Sprite into glass.

Stir thoroughly.

Add ice to fill.




I usually keep a picture of the syrup in the fridge ready to make a lime aid on demand.


Tip:

Pour the Sprite into the glass first then the syrup, it will fizz up on you less and wont spill over.


That is all

Still trying to figure out why you keep a "picture" in the refrigerator.

Well duh, I thought it was pretty obvious.

But I do keep a pitcher of Limeade in there also.

Sounds good to me. I was planning on making different syrups this summer. Peppermint is up next week, since I have so much in the garden now. Elderberry in a couple of weeks when it starts blooming. And I loooove lime, so it will fit right in.
And I'm sure we will try some alcoholic concoctions as well.

I prefer my Sprite shaken, not stirred.
