Notes

Bring limes to room temperature, roll on a hard surface, slice in half and squeeze to get the most juice from each lime.
To reduce the acidity or tart flavor, add up to one additional cup of water to the mix to taste, or serve over crushed ice.
Scale to make a larger batch using the Measurement Conversion Chart or the 2x 3x above.

Substitutions

Lemon or Orange Juice - Substitute 1/4 lime juice with fresh squeezed orange or lemon juice.
