Notes
Make certain the sugar has fully dissolved in the lime juice. Just keep stirring and it will dissolve. You can also let it sit for a minute and then come back to it and stir again.
Use fresh squeezed lime juice. Bottled lime juice just doesn't taste the same.
If you prefer your limeade a bit sweeter, add an additional tablespoon of sugar. It will take a bit longer to dissolve the additional sugar.
Serve right away so the sparkling water still has the carbonation.
Recipe can be doubled or tripled to serve the amount you need.
