Lime Rickey

Clear soda with lime slices mint and 2 green striped straws in a clear glass

SERVINGS: 4 | PREP TIME: 5 MINS

This super refreshing drink is made for long summer days. Make it virgin or adult, it's delicious either way.

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 limes, washed, ends trimmed, cut into eighths and frozen

  • 3 cups ice

  • 2 cups water

  • 1 10oz can sweetened condensed coconut milk

  • Extra lime plus fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

METHOD

  1. Add all ingredients to a blender. Blend until limes and ice are broken up, no more than 15 seconds. If it’s over-blended, it will start to taste bitter. Adjust the consistency to your liking by adding more water as needed.

  2. Pour through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into glasses. Garnish with mint leaves and a lime wedge, and enjoy!

NOTES

  • If you don't have time to freeze the limes ahead of time, then use cold limes for a more liquidy drink.

  • Instead of sweetened condensed coconut milk, use one 13.5oz can of coconut milk, 1/4 cup honey, and decrease the amount of water to 1 1/2 cups.

  • For an adult version, add a shot of light rum.
