LIME RICKEY

Muddle up some fun with an old-fashioned Lime Rickey, a classic vintage mocktail that’s as refreshing today as it was in its soda fountain days.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 Lime Cut Into Wedges
  
• 3 Tablespoons Sugar
  
• 1 1/2 Ounce Fresh Lime Juice
  
• 8 Ounce Soda Water
  

INSTRUCTIONS:

• 
  In a cocktail shaker, muddle all the lime wedges with sugar, until the lime wedges release their juices, and sugar and lime juice become syrupy.
• Fill the cocktail shaker with ice, add lime juice, and shake vigorously.
• Strain into an ice-filled highball glass, top with soda water, and stir. Garnish with a lime wedge or a lime twist.

I love limes and that looks fabulous, I could drink that right now.  I used to buy fresh lemons and limes, but they are really expensive here and don't keep forever, so I started to buy bottled lemon juice instead, I don't know if they sell bottled lime juice because that would be neat. But nothing beats the fresh stuff.
