Copycat Fresh Lime Soda

Who says that simplicity can’t be delicious? My copycat fresh lime soda is simple, made with few ingredients and refreshing!

One of my favorite things about summer when I was a kid was going to the local drive-in and getting a Fresh Lime soda.  Since I don’t live in my hometown I decided to make a copycat recipe for myself.  It is really simple with few ingredients, but you’ll love the bubbly zip that will make you pucker just a little bit.  So, cool off this summer with my Copycat Fresh Lime Soda!

This is all you need to make a copycat fresh lime soda.   Fresh limes, a can of lemon lime soda and nugget ice.  The nugget ice isn’t essential but preferable.  Each drink uses about 1 1/2 limes worth of juice.  That ends up being roughly 1 1/2 tablespoons of lime juice.

Slice up the remaining half of lime and add the lime slices to a large glass half filled with nugget ice.  Pour the fresh lime juice over the slices and ice.  Then fill the rest of the glass with a can of lemon lime soda.  Please note that I used an entire 12 oz can of soda per 1 1/2 tablespoons of lime juice.  If you are going to make these in small portions adjust the lime juice accordingly.  Also if you really like a lime zip to your drink than increase the lime juice by another 1/2 to full tablespoon.
