Drinks - Brown Sugar and Honey Limeade This limeade is sweetened with honey and brown sugar for a slightly sweet and slightly tart treat.
I'm a limeade & lemonade enthusiast.
Many mixed drinks are variations of these. Sweet, sour, liquor.
But. One thing I must scream from the mountain tops is SALTED LEMONADE & LIMEADE.
This possiblity was brought to my attention at a now closed Vietnamese restaurant that used salted lemon pickles in their salted lemonade.
It's one of my favorite things to have after sweating. Drinking it not too cold feels like your blood is replenishing in real time, but sexily. Cold and iced it's delicious.
You can just add salt [I'd go non-iodized if you have it - kosher is good, you might not mind] to some fresh squeezed lemon or limeade (for limeade I use a squeeze of agave syrup - it's super quick, tasty, and adds some fun flavors. - Sugar is cool too, you can make a simple syrup if you want a similar quickness - I bow hunt people who buy plain simple syrup. Bring a pot to a simmer with 1:1 or 1:2 water to sugar. Dissolve the sugar. You can caramelize it a bit if you like those flavors. You don't have to. Don't pay $ for goddamn premade sugar water. Bottle it in a bottle you saved - buy a metal funnel for a buck - now you have a simple syrup. Put that shit in the fridge. Use it, don't use it if it has mold/smells weird. Bonus points throw some ginger or spices in. Cooking and making drinks can be fun. A honey syrup is even easier - put honey and water in a bottle 1:1 should be fine... Shake the bottle.)
Salted lemonade & limeade.
Delicious. I drink lemonade with honey and salt when I'm sick - not too cold. It's one of my favorite things. I treat myself to it often.
When my mom made salted myer lemon pickles from our now dead trees (we blame global warming) I almost reached nirvana.
I'm on my knees begging you. If you love yourself, want to love yourself. Think you might like these drinks. Salt some fresh lemonade to taste.
It might not change your life. But it shouldn't take long to figure out if you like making this stuff. I think it's *generally* achievable and repeatable. You get to make a little thing for yourself or someone else!
Be well!
