Sweet and Sour Sparkling Honey Limeade

It really doesn’t get more refreshing than an ice cold drink of limeade. This fresh homemade limeade is so easy to make and it’s naturally sweetened with honey and lime.

For this limeade I decided to sweeten it with half honey and half sugar because lime and honey always pair so well together. It would also be delicious if you wanted to mix in some cherry juice which I think I’ll try next time. I used to be someone that said I was only going to get my sugars from desserts not drinks, but with a drink this good that has changed my whole outlook. I’d definitely choose this Limeade as my sweet for the day.
