With just 3 ingredients, everyone loves this traditional sweet-tart drink when the weather starts to warm. Just fresh limes, some sugar, and water, maybe a sprig of mint as garnish (or a splash of vodka if you’d like)!

A Summer-Time Favorite
This simple homemade limeade is made with 3 ingredients! LIMES For a fresh limeade, it is best to use freshly squeezed limes. In a pinch, you can use bottled lime juice, but it may require a little extra sugar to balance it out. Try juicing a bunch of limes at once and freezing them in a quarter to half-cup measurements. This makes them quick and easy to grab when making a classic mojito, a mango margarita, or this easy limeade! This recipe also uses a bit of lime zest for extra flavor. Be sure you’re only getting the green part as the white (the pith) is bitter in flavor.
SUGAR With all the tartness of the limes, sugar is a must! We definitely recommend sampling the juice as you are making it and adjusting the sugar as needed. Add a little more or a little less depending on your preference! We also love to have some simple syrup in the fridge for the summer. It makes prepping these refreshing beverages a breeze! WATER If making your own simple syrup for this recipe, hot water is a necessity. It helps to properly dissolve the sugar to prevent a gritty texture and stop it from settling at the bottom of the pitcher. Summer is the perfect time to enjoy ice-cold beverages like lemonade, or a classic mojito, or a tall glass of fresh-squeezed limeade. Sweet, tart, and oh-so-refreshing!

Tips for Success
Fresh limeade is at its peak flavor when it is served super cold. Try to make it one of the first things you make if you are planning a party, then it will be especially refreshing when it’s time to serve it! For an extra boost of flavor, add additional lime juice by the tablespoon until desired tartness is achieved. If the limeade is too sour, add more simple syrup, or whisk in a bit of honey until it is dissolved. Try pouring a bit of fresh limeade in an ice cube tray. It’s perfect for dressing up your daily water intake! A little extra vitamin C with a tangy, tart flavor!
