Lime And Mint Refresher

A lime slush refresher from her husband’s cousin in Wisconsin.

You need lots of limes, mint from the garden or HEB, sugar, ice, and water. Ginger ale, Sprite, or unflavored sparkling if you want fizz.

1. Two whole washed limes, quartered, peels on, into a blender. A Ninja works. A Vitamix is better with peels.
2. Extra juice of three limes.
3. Generous mint. No stems. Stems are bitter.
4. Half cup sugar.
5. Lots of ice.
6. A little water to blend.

Blend until slushy. Sparkle is optional. Makes about two to four drinks. Bright. Citrusy. A bite. Just sweet enough.
