Today at work we had a potluck lunch to thank me(hehe) for all the work I did this summer as an intern. I think it was their way of not having to take me out to lunch at a restaurant like most of the other groups have done for their interns. But I didn't mind that much because when you work with people who all cook, why wouldn't you want to eat their food?!?
My contribution to the delicious meal was Cherry Limeade as I had leftover supplies from Ginny's bachelorette party mojitos to use up. However, after scouring the web(okay spending like 30 min) trying to find a good recipe, I just decided to wing it and make my own. It was quite delicious if I do say so myself! However, be warned that I like these kinds of drinks fairly tart, so you might want to add more sweetener to it if you don't like eating lemons in the same manner as oranges, like I do. :D
Cherry Limeade:
1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed lime juice (about 5-6 limes worth)
1/2 cup cherry puree (I just used frozen cherries and threw them in the food processor)
2 TBSP lime simple syrup (2 parts water to one part granulated sugar with a TON of lime zest)
2 Liters of Sprite
lime wedges and cherries for garnish.
Amounts might need to be adjusted for taste, but this is a good base to work off of. This made enough to serve the 10 people at lunch.
Was at camp for family Christmas and then headed to Laffayette for some shopping and it made me think of you. Hope all is well. :-)
