Mint Limeade

Fantastic! I did make some adjustments to the recipe, and it was a huge hit at a work potluck this summer. Enough punch for 16+: I did 4 cups of water, 2.5 cups of sugar, and 1 cup of mint (a little over one store package of mint) to make the sugar syrup. I added approximately 2 cups of lime juice (but not fresh squeezed, short on time). I left this in a separate pitcher and had cold club soda on the side. I let people mix the limeade syrup with club soda to their tastes, but I'm sure you could do it in a punch bowl, too. The bubbles were refreshing with this light, but delicious punch.

Made this today for our beach party. It was an overwhelming success. The mint was a refreshing twist! This is not a tangy sour drink, but refreshing and not to sweet. Next time I am going to try to substitute honey for the sugar. This will be my go to drink for summer time BBQ's. Thank you for sharing!

Delicious, refreshing drink. I used 3/4 cups of sugar and it was perfect (I like tart). Used fresh mint from my garden and bottled lime because fresh limes were too expensive. The recipe turned out perfectly. Thank you for sharing!

I very nice summertime drink for adults and kids alike. I liked the sweetness and used the full amount of sugar, but then again I like my lemon/lime aides sweet. It's a southern thang! I thought the fresh mint added a zing to the drink that was very refreshing. I'll make this again. Made for ZWT4.

I did half the recipe. I used the same quantity of sugar that was mentionned. It was too sweet for our tastes. So I added more and more lime juice. And I added more water. I would also add more mint a next time. Thanks Engrossed. Made for the Babes of ZWT4

Made this for the kids for Father's Day Lunch. It was delicious and very refreshing. Good with a shot of ouzo, too! ;-)

This was just fabulous :) We all loved this very refreshing drink. The sweetness was fine for us too. I love limeade and this was a great twist, thanks! Made this for ZWT4 for the Chic Chefs.

This was wonderful engrossed. I used fresh mint and lots of lime. The amount of sugar was perfect for me. This is a lovely tasting, refreshing limeade. I can't wait to try it this summer with chocolate mint from my garden. Thanks so much for sharing a new favourite drink, which I will make often...Kudos

This was very refreshing and cool with a nice combination of lime and mint. I found the sugar to be appropriate to my tastes as well. This would be a great way to make mojitos in advance, just add rum and ice!

Loved it! after reading the other reviews I scaled back the sugar, but the lime was then really quite sharp and pronounced... perfect for me, but less perfect for my DD who also tried it.( she badly wants limonade and I don't want her to have the carbonated stuff) I would have liked more mint too becuase that combination works fantastically but the limes overpowered the mint somewhat. I will definiately be tweeking this to suit us becuase the over all flavours are wonderful. Please see my rating system: 4 lovely stars for a recipe that works well, and will work even better once we have tweeked to make it perfect for us. Thanks!

Very tasty! I used Splenda, lemon mint and spearmint, and I think I would use more mint and less Splenda next time. Much lighter tasting than commercial limeade. Thanks for a new summertime drink!

Reviewed for the ZWT3. This was a seriously refreshing drink and simple to make. This limeade was a total HIT in our house and will certainly be made again over the summer and beyond I'm sure

Very nice, really refreshing! I reduced the sugar amount, after reading some of the reviews and knowing I did not want it too sweet. Not sure exactly how much I did use, play with it and get it just right! ZWT3

Very refreshing. I followed the instructions exactly but scaled back the recipe for only two servings. The limeade was delicious, like a mojito, and very refreshing for summer. Made for ZWT 3.

I made this recipe exactly as it said and it wasn't bad. Nice refreshing taste but in my opinion there was too much sugar. Very sweet and very filling although I could taste the lime and mint. If I made this recipe again, I would decrease the amount of sugar.

Exceptional!! I love the added flavor the mint gives to the limeade! I used Splenda to make this limeade and it is wonderful! I will definitely look forward to making it again! Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipes with us, Engrossed!
