Limeade

Ingredients

• Fresh juice of 4 limes (about ½ cup), plus 1 lime cut into wedges
• Fresh juice of 3 lemons (about ¾ cup), plus 1 lemon cut into wedges
• ½ cup sugar
• Pinch of kosher salt
• 2 large handfuls of mint leaves (about 3 cups), plus mint sprigs for garnish
• 1 12-oz. can soda water, chilled

Steps

1. In a large pitcher, combine the lime juice, lemon juice, sugar and salt. Put in the mint leaves and both the lime and lemon wedges. Press down hard with a wooden spoon for a few minutes to bruise the citrus and mint, then stir to dissolve the sugar. Allow the limeade to chill until cold.
2. Pour the limeade among chilled glasses filled with ice. Finish each with soda water and a mint sprig garnish.
