SPARKLING LIME (OR LEMON) BEVERAGE



Sparkling Lime (Or Lemon) Beverage image

I find this beverage extermely refreshing, and I will drink it, or its lemon variant, around the order of once or twice a day. It provides a perky hint of flavor without making the beverage so tart one is driven to add sugar or sugar substitutes -- and it's simple and quick. And unlike commercially-flavored seltzer waters, it tastes real.

SPARKLING MEYER LEMON COCKTAIL

This is great for a cookout. Great cool drink. Meyer lemons are a cross between a lemon and a mandarin orange in taste. If you can't find Meyer lemons, the flavor won't be as complex. For every 1/4 cup Meyer lemon juice, substitute 3 tbsp lemon juice plus 1 tbsp orange juice plus 1/2 tsp sugar. Prep time includes chilling time.
