Recipe Introduction


The vibrant red flesh of the prickly pears lend this limeade its distinctive color. You'll find them at Mexican markets or specialty produce stores. Refreshing with a melon-like aroma, they combine with sweet and tart key limes for a cooling summertime drink.





List of Ingredients



• 1 cup prickly pear juice*
  
• 1/2 cup fresh key lime juice
  
• 1/2 cup sugar
  
• 2 cups sparkling water, chilled
  
• 1 lime, cut in wedges
  






Instructions



1. Place prickly pear juice, lime juice, and sugar in a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake vigorously to dissolve the sugar. Pour over ice into 4 tall glasses and top off with sparkling water. Garnish with lime wedges and serve immediately.
   






Final Comments


*To peel a prickly pear, hold in place with the tines of a fork while you slice off each end with a sharp knife. Cut a lengthwise slit down the fruit and peel skin off of flesh in a rolling motion. Juice and strain through a fine sieve (to eliminate seeds) before proceeding with recipe.
