FAQs for Sparkling Limeade

Can I use bottled lime juice instead of fresh limes?

You can use bottled lime juice, but I always recommend fresh limes for the best flavor. Freshly squeezed lime juice gives a brighter, more vibrant taste that bottled juice can’t quite match.

Can I adjust the sweetness of the Sparkling Limeade?

Yes! If you like it sweeter, just add a little more simple syrup. Start with a small amount, and then taste it to make sure it’s just right for you. It’s all about your personal preference!

Can I make Sparkling Limeade ahead of time?

You can prepare the lime juice and syrup part ahead of time and store it in the fridge. But be sure to add the sparkling water and ice just before serving to keep the fizz nice and fresh!

Can I make Sparkling Limeade with regular water instead of sparkling water?

You can totally swap sparkling water for regular water if you want a still version. It won’t have the bubbles, but it will still be a tasty, refreshing drink.

How long does Sparkling Limeade last in the fridge?

If you have leftovers, you can keep it in the fridge for about 2 days. After that, the sparkling water might lose its fizz, so I recommend drinking it while it’s still nice and bubbly!
