Apple Limeade

(from desert.rose32’s recipe box)

Categories: beverages

Ingredients

  • 12 limes
  • 4 cups unfiltered apple juice
  • Ice cubes as needed
  • 1 bottle sparkling water
  • 2 small Granny Smith apples, halved, cored and sliced

Directions

  1. Cut 10 of the limes in half and juice them. You should have about 1 cup juice. Reserve 6 squeezed lime halves and discard the rest.

  2. In a large glass jar or pitcher, stir together the lime juice, apple juice and the reserved lime halves. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 12 hours to blend the flavors.

  3. When ready to serve, cut the remaining 2 limes into 6 slices each. Fill a large serving pitcher half full with ice and add the sparkling water, lime slices and apple slices. Strain the apple juice mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the pitcher and stir. Pour into tall chilled glasses over ice and serve immediately.
