Fresh Limeade Fizz

This weekend we had our annual St. Patty’s Day party (well, it’s pretty much my husband’s show) with over 100 guests attending. Let’s just say a mansion we live in not. But the weather was sunny and crisp and the food (Irish Whisky Bread Pudding) and drink (homemade Bailey’s) was bountiful and delish. So much so, that I’m feeling the need for some lighter fare these next few days to get back on track and this refresher hits the spot.

Last summer, I started regularly making flavored seltzers like this Cantaloupe Basil Aqua Fresca and now I usually have the fridge stocked with simple syrup and some type of fresh juice. The lime spritzer is a continual favorite – so refreshing and to quote my pal Regan of Healthy Aperture, lime juice always makes everything taste better. Amen.

So I raise a green (well, very very very pale green) glass of limeade fizz to all you of Irish descent this week!
