I love limeade too. I remember an ice cream store near where I went to high school that served the best limeade with crushed ice. It was so good and the lime taste was good to the end. But, I love anything lime.

...add 1-1/2 cups of simple syrup...

Thanks kadesma. I've included a link to the simple syrup recipe in case someone doesn't have it.

This is similar to one I make, only I use splenda or stevia instead of the simple syrup because the hubby is diabetic. It's also good if you sub carbonated water for the spring water.

Kades, I made this on Labor Day, and everyone went absolutely BONKERS over it! Including me. It was so delicious and so refreshing and more tart than sweet, which I really like.

I did use the sparkling mineral water, and it added a real "pop" to the bevvie. This recipe is a super-keeper.

Thanks so much for sharing!
