Limes were originally grown in Asia,introduced by the Arab traders to the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa and then brought to Americas by the Spanish and Portuguese explorers. They are a great source of vitamin C and their zesty flavor refreshes the palate. On a hot day,a frozen lime cooler is a real thirst quencher.
In a 5-to-6 cup blender add:
2 cups crushed ice
1/4 cup Rose's lime juice
1/2 cup diet or regular lemon-lime soda
1/4 cup sugar
1-6 oz. can frozen limeade
2 cans cold water from the limeade container
1 slice fresh lime, for a garnish
Directions
Put all the ingredients into a blender and set on high.Pulseuntil all of the ingredients are of a smooth texture. Pourthe mixture into a tall glass and add more ice if desired.Twist the fresh lime slice and top the drink with it.
Alcoholic version
Add a couple of shots of your favorite rum or vodka. Beware!
The drink is highly addictive
