This recipe was easy and to the point. However it was way to sweet for my liking. I wanted the sweet-tart flavor. After tasting I added the juice of two more limes making a total of 1 1/4 cup of lime juice used. Still very sweet. Next time I will use much less syrup. -
So easy and so good, thx Galley Wench! i got a 10lb of limes from a neighbor and after squeezing one by one for 15 min and barely making a dent in the pile, i used my big rolling pin and stumped them in a deep bowl. it was surprisingly effective and more fun! -
Good! -
Delicious! Limes at my local grocery store were outrageously cheap--and I made up this tasty concoction! I subbed most of the water for club soda. Thanks! -
