Though less popular than its cousin lemonade, limeade is nonetheless just as tasty on a hot summer day. This recipe uses sparkling water, which gives the limeade an extra burst of fresh flavor. However, for purists who don’t want to mess with a sure thing, go ahead and use regular water instead of the sparkling water. Or if you wait a couple of days after making it, the effervescence will leave, and you will have regular limeade without the fizz.

This recipe makes about 2 1/2 quarts of limeade. Be sure to use freshly squeezed limes for the best taste.
