Lemon Soda ... on Lime


Andrea posted this photo on her facebook page on Christmas Day.
I took one look at it and HAD to KNOW what it was !!



Lemon Soda is an Indian drink called Nimbu Pani (thanks for that little bit of info, Gareth!) and all I can say is thank you India ! And thank you Andrea ! It is refreshing and oh so smoooooth ....

For one 16 oz glass:
3-4 tablespoons simple syrup
One muddled lime (sometimes more!)
Fill the rest of the glass with soda water (club soda) or tonic water.
Sprinkle salt.

Put in the freezer for a bit to chill.

You can drink them like that or you can add a "blub" of tequila, gin, vodka or ... whatever floats your boat. Last night, I added tequila to ours.

Do you need to know how to make simple syrup ? Yeah ... I did too ! It's simple ! (imagine that !) All you do is boil one cup of water. Add one cup of sugar. Take the pan off the heat. Stir and let cool. Simple, right ?!



Mmmmmm ! I want to make some more !

There are no stupid questions...right?? I know how to make simple sugar (we learned a little while ago in order to make a yummy drink...don't remember what drink though...), but I have NO clue how to muddle a lime...
