Salted Lemon-Limeade

Leigh Belanger
Adding salt to lemonade or limeade might sound counterintuitive, but it’s common in parts of Thailand and India. Still need convincing? Think of a salt-rimmed margarita—it’s that good.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more for rimming glasses
  • 1 cup lemon-lime juice from 6–8 lemons and limes
  • ½ cup simple syrup see recipe below
  • 3 cups water
  • Lime wheels to garnish

Instructions
 

  • Salt the rims of 4 drinking glasses, and fill halfway with ice.
  • Combine the lemon-lime juice, syrup, water, and salt in a pitcher, and stir to combine.
  • Fill each glass with the lemon-limeade, garnish with a lime wheel, and serve.
