This wonderful fizzy drink just combines homemade lemonade with ginger ale..but, the added squirt of lime juice can't be ignored! Refreshing and comforting.
Ingredients
- 1 gallon homemade lemonade(my "recipe" follows) shopping list
- 2 limes shopping list
- 2 liters ginger ale, chilled(could use diet, if desired) shopping list
- maraschino cherries and mint leaves, if desired, for garnish :) shopping list
Simple syrup Lemonade
- 2 cups sugar shopping list
- 2 cups water shopping list
- 2 cups lemon juice(around a dozen lemons, depending on size and freshness and how juicy they are :) shopping list
- 1 gallon cold water shopping list
How to make it
For Simple Syrup Lemonade
- Combine 2 cups water and sugar in medium sauce pan heat over low heat. Stir once in a while, while juicing all those lemons, until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In large pitcher, combine cold water, lemon juice and simple syrup and stir well.
- Fill each serving glass about 2/3 full of ice and drop a cherry or two in the bottom, if using.
- Pour in lemonade to just under half
- Squeeze juice from 1 lime wedge over lemonade
- Add ginger ale to fill glass
- Garnish with lime and mint, if desired
- **Please note, when I serve lemonade, I serve it with lemon or lime wedges in each glass... we like the extra tartness, but not everyone does, so making it sweeter to begin with, then adding the boost of fresh juice of lemon or lime solves a taste compatibility problem! :)
