Classic Non-Alcoholic
Limeade
Lemonade's sharper cousin
Limeade done properly: fresh lime, just enough sugar to balance, cold water and ice. The soda fountain's overlooked companion to lemonade.
Ingredients
- 1 oz Fresh Lime Juice
- 3/4 oz Simple Syrup
- 5 oz Water
Method
In a collins glass, combine lime juice and simple syrup. Stir to dissolve. Add ice and cold water. Stir again. Garnish with a lime wheel. For a sparkling version (a 'Lime Tinkle'), substitute soda water for still water.
Sourced from American soda fountain era (late 19th / early 20th century). Carbonated version 'Lime Tinkle' is canonical per vintage soda-fountain manuals.
