Notes
- You can adjust the taste of the limeade by adding more lime juice or sugar if desired.
- You may add more or less of water/club soda/sprite/ lemon-lime soda etc. 3 cups was perfect for us.
- If using aerated beverages to dilute the lime-strawberry puree, do so at the time of serving. You can prepare the strawberry-lime puree in advance, and mix it up before serving.
- I've not strained the strawberry puree as I don't find the seeds bothersome. If you intend straining the puree, then blend the strawberries and sugar with 1/2 cup water instead of lime juice. Strain the puree in a pitcher, then add lime juice and top with water/sprite etc. Stir it well.
