Reviews
I really liked this recipe. We have a lime tree so they are plentiful at my house. Thank you.
So refreshing!
This was delicious, the honey is a great addition and, in this quantity, doesn’t overpower the lime. Really enjoyed it.
This makes great margaritas too. I always add the honey lemon juice and the sugar first and shake it well letting the acid of the lime juice dissolve the sugar and honey and then add the water. ?
This is my favorite limeade recipe
Family liked this. Will make more next time.
Ok – a little too sweet for me
Seriously amazing.
I didn’t add the honey and it was very good.
I made it boozy by turning it into margaritas. I added 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, triple sec & tequila. I did heat up a cup of hot water and dissolved the sugar & honey in that first. It was definitely yummy.
I made this pretty much as written except I eyeballed the honey amount. The limeade turned out great, and I would definitely make again.
I make this often. I just microwave some water with the sugar and honey in it and stir it all together. The hint of honey is great! Thank you for this recipe.
Make sure you heat the sugar and water to prevent grittiness. Added some crushed mint leaves to enchanted flavour. Was a big hit!
Spot on! The sweetness is perfect! and the honey is a great touch!
very yummy! I combined 1C hot water, sugar, and honey to dissolve, then added the limejuice. I then filled my 2C measure cup with ice and water, added remaining water and it was ready instantly!
This is really good. It was really easy to make. It has a good lime flavor and the honey is detectable (my kids immediately noted the honey flavor). I personally would have added a bit more lime because I like a little more tartness, but that’s just personal preference. This is a good, all-around recipe and should be easy to tweak (i.e. add cherries, berries, more lime, etc). Thanks!
This is a great drink! A big hit at my party!
Nice and tasty!
Wonderful! All the flavors even out perfectly!
I thought this was really good. What I did was put one cup of water, the sugar and the honey into a sauce pan and let it warm on medium high until it was a mixture and then added it to the other four cups of water. I also blended up a cup of frozen strawberries and a cup of water until smooth and added it to the beverage. I think that really improved it.
Made this with the exact ingredients listed, although I, like others, made a syrup with the sugar and some of the water (1 C.) first in a pan on the stove, then I put the lime juice in a pitcher and poured the warm sugar syrup in there with the other four cups of cold water. I would recommend pouring it over ice, not only to chill, but maybe to dilute a bit. I tried some with some grenadine, and it was yummy, too. We still have some in the fridge, and I’m thinking of trying some with vodka…oh, the possibilities! 🙂
