First saw this when mikekey reviewed it for PAC and knew I had to try it the first warm summer day and today was it, perfect drink following a long day of garden work. My two favorite flavors have to be the bite of ginger and the tart of limes - and this has both. I was worried the maple syrup would make it to sweet but not a problem - it was perfect and I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks Mandi for sharing this great drink - bet it would also be good with a little added rum for company.

Really refreshing without all the sugar of regular limeade. Love the bite the ginger gives it. (I have a juicer, so while I was making some apple juice, I "juiced" a large piece of gingerroot). The maple syrup is just the right sweetener, but doesn't really leave a maple flavor. I think honey would also be good. Made for Spring 2009 PAC.
