This limeade is addictive and will make your mouth pucker. We love the sour, fresh flavor from the citrus and mint, as well as the fizz from the soda water. The base is super-concentrated because it gets chilled, then diluted by lots of ice. This recipe is part of the Healthyish Farmers’ Market Challenge. Get all 10 recipes here.

Ingredients
Fresh juice of 4 limes (about ½ cup), plus 1 lime cut into wedges
Fresh juice of 3 lemons (about ¾ cup), plus 1 lemon cut into wedges

1 12-oz. can soda water, chilled
Preparation
Step 1
Mix lime juice, lemon juice, sugar, and salt in a large pitcher. Add mint leaves, lime wedges, and lemon wedges. Using a wooden spoon, smash down to bruise citrus and mint leaves (this will take a few minutes), then stir until sugar dissolves. Chill limeade until cold.
