Tips

  • You can start by squeezing the lime juice into the blender container directly. That way you won't need to clean more than one container.
  • You can substitute soda for the water and make it a Delicious Fizzy Limeade.
  • For a delicious alternative to sugar, try agave nectar. It's sweeter than sugar so you need less and it may be viewed as healthier.

  • Sugar will not fully dissolve in cold water. A simple syrup is the easiest way to solve this.
