With a mixture of four parts lemon juice to one part lime juice, sugar, and sparkling water, it is quick and easy to make. Offer your guests colored sugar (or salt) for rimming their glasses to really make it a party.
1 cup fresh lemon juice
6 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 ⅓ cups pure cane sugar
4 cups sparkling water
Place the lemon juice, lime juice, and sugar in a glass pitcher. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Add the sparkling water and stir to combine. Serve over ice.
