Another one we enjoy is Limeade,

Strain and discard zest, pour water into larger container. Stir in lime juice,simple syrup and spring water. Chill well Fill tall glasses with ice cubes and pour over the limeade...Enjoy.
We make fancy ice cubes to go in these. It's someting the little guys get a kick out of doing. Fill ice cube trays with either plain water or try using a lemon lime soda, add a raspberry, strawberry,bueberry or something that corresponds with your main ingredient or even freeze a small mint leaf in the cubes looks nice too.
