happy hour: ginger limeade

limeadeginger0708.jpg

I spotted this recipe for ginger infused limeade yesterday and thought it sounded like a good drink to try for this week’s happy hour. The problem is I’m a little bit lazy sometimes, so instead of getting limes, I picked up a jar of lime juice. And instead of fully reading the directions, I pretended like I memorized them. But apparently I didn’t. I concocted a beverage that consisted of ice, water, lime juice, a little chopped ginger and some rum, which ended up tasting a little like sour lime rum juice. I even told Aaron, you know, this would be much better with a little simple syrup or something, which if I had read the directions, I would have seen the recipe calls for agave which would have fit the bill perfectly. Whatev, we still drank it and it was ok, but I think you’d be better off following this recipe and adding a little tequila or rum. You win some you lose some.

Cheers! Have a great weekend!

    I am delighted you tried my recipe. It would be on the sour side without any sweetener, however, some like it a bit on the sour side and some prefer it sweeter. Adjust the recipe to suit your taste.

    Cheers and I hope you enjoy a great weekend too!
