Calories: 95kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon Rose’s brand sweetened lime juice
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon Angostura aromatic bitters (roughly 8 to 10 dashes)
- ⅔ cup fresh lemonade
- 2 slices fresh lemon, ⅛ inch thick (garnish)
- 2 slices fresh lime, ⅛ inch thick (garnish)
Instructions
- Add the ice, sweetened lime juice, aromatic bitters, and fresh lemonade to a highball glass.
- Add the garnish of fresh lemon and fresh lime slices and gently stir to combine. You can use a straw or cocktail spoon to stir.
Notes
- If you are going to use the fresh lemon and lime slices as a garnish, then I suggest using a small lemon and small lime. The slices fit better in a tall highball glass. You can also place the citrus slices in the glass with the ice before adding the drink ingredients so that they don’t just float on the top.
- You will want to give your citrus a gentle rinse in cool water to remove any coating on the skin that is often used to keep the citrus fruit looking pretty. I will buy organic if possible to avoid the films/coatings that are used, especially if I am using the rind and not just juicing my citrus.
- This drink is traditionally served in a tall highball, or Collin’s, glass. You can use a shorter glass, but it needs to hold at least a 10-ounce liquid capacity.
