More than 50 years ago I attended school in Utah. I would very often get a drink that was called a "fresh lime" at a fast food restuarant (cannot remember the name). I tried to recreate my memory of this refreshing drink & this recipe is spot on! Who would have imagined it was so easy?

Been making these for quite a while now. It is our official pool-side summer drink. The simple addition of fresh lime to Diet 7-Up is fabulous--so refreshing. Thanks.

This was absolutely lovely. I used regular sprite (can't have diet) and the lime cut the sweetness. Very very refreshing and perfect for the really hot sumer days. Will definately be making this alot.

Love this! It elevates my generic brand diet sprite to something really sophisticated. (Well, almost!) Thanks. This is a great one.

So refreshing - I will make these all summer long! I am not a big fan of 7-Up, but had a bottle of Diet 7-Up to use; the lime juice makes it so much better.
