Sparkling Limeade (Limonada)

Realizing that where there is lime zest, there is lime juice, I decided to make limonada at the same time as the lime zest cooler. Basically, the mise is the same limes from the last post. I simply juiced them after I zested them:


In the end, the limes yielded about a cup of lime juice. I added about a half cup of sugar and a quart of sparkling water, which resulted in this:

Well, it wasn't really that blurry in person, unless you spiked it with something. Simple and delicious, and much more to my taste (tart) than the lime-zest cooler (sweet). It lacked the interesting depth of flavor from the zest in the lime-zest cooler, though. Perhaps some combination of the two would be ideal...
