Ingredients

  • Lime: 12 limes, 10 roughly chopped, 2 sliced
  • Caster Sugar: 200g caster sugar
  • Vodka: vodka or rum, optional
  • Soda Water: 1l bottle soda water

Directions

  1. Lay the lime slices on a tray and freeze for at least an hour. Put the remaining chopped limes (including the skin) in the bowl of a food processor or blender with the sugar and 100ml water. Whizz until really juicy and completely broken down.
  2. Pour the mix through a sieve, so that all the pulpy bits remain and you have lots of juice. Have a taste - if it's too sour, add a bit more sugar. This can be made 2 days ahead and chilled. Pour into a big jug with lots of ice and the lime slices, and top up with soda water. Serve with a shot of vodka or rum, if you like.
