Fantastic beverage. I used just limes and was very pleased. This will be especially nice on a hot afternoon. Thanks for posting such a lovely recipe. Made for Spring PAC 2009.

This was refreshing. I used limes and lemons. I also found this to be pretty bitter even with doubling the sugar. I also halved the water and used lots of ice. I think if I used cheese cloth it might take out more of the pith and be less bitter.

We liked this drink just as it was but also tried it as an added kick to some Sprite. I used 1/4 limonada to 3/4 Sprite and it was a great drink. (-: Made for ZWT4.

This was very good. It was a little too watery for me, and I did measure exactly and didn't use ice cubes. I would just reduce the water next time.

Excellent ! I used both lemons and limes in my brand spanking new blender and this turned out brilliantly.... I served a caraffe full to the kids and DH... the kids are still small and fussy and rejected it but both DH and I loved it. DH isn't even a huge fan of lemons or limes so what an unexpected surprise. Between us we finished the lot. Please see my Rating System: 4 excellemt stars for a very good summer recipe.. fresh and full of flavour and if you prefer it tarter or sweeter it's easily adjustable, we will be making this again. Thanks!
