Top the glass with Razz Lime Shimmer Seltzer, then slowly stir. Serve this drink with a sprig of rosemary and a lime rind.
Homemade Limeade TipsWhen making homemade limeade, it's all about getting the perfect tart-to-sweet ratio. If you like things tarter than sweet, go heavy on the lime juice.
If you prefer a sweeter limeade, you can also add a pinch of salt. The salt will reduce the acidity and make your drink more vibrant.
The same principle works for lemonade too!
