Lime Soda
This lime soda is an easy summer alternative to plain old water made with lime juice, soda water, and a little salt. Natch, there's always the option of adding a splash of something stronger and turning it into a cocktail.
Ingredients
- Ice (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Sea salt
- 9 ounces soda water, seltzer, or sparkling water
- 1 lime wedge
Instructions
- If desired, toss a handful of ice cubes into a tall glass.
- Pour in the lime juice, add a pinch of salt, and top off with soda water, seltzer, or sparkling water.
☞ TESTER TIP: Much depends on the quality of your water. Use the highest-quality, fanciest soda water, seltzer, or sparkling water you can find (and afford).
- Run the lime around the rim of the glass and drop the wedge inside. Bottoms up!
Notes
Lime Soda Variation
Lime Spritzer: Turn this simple soda into a cocktail by adding 1 ounce of gin or vodka. You may want to go a little light on the soda water. Angostura Orange Soda: For a slightly sweeter version of this soda, swap in freshly squeezed orange juice and a few drops Angostura bitters for the lime juice and salt and use an orange slice in place of the lime wedge. Splash in 1 ounce vodka or rum if you like.Nutrition
