Limeade Recipe
Brandy O'Neill | Nutmeg Nanny UpdatedHomemade limeade is easy to make. It's also got much better ingredients than the frozen stuff.
If you haven’t already figured it out, I’m a huge fan of fresh herbs in my cocktails. I used mint in this Sweet Tea Vodka Recipe, basil in this Basil Gin Smash Recipe, and cilantro in this Mango Margarita Recipe. Well, I’m at it again with the cilantro.
The herbaceous cilantro makes an especially fun addition here. I just cannot get enough of this bright and fresh tasting herb. This time I paired it with lots of lime and just a splash of vodka. This Cilantro Vodka Limeade is tart, fresh and the perfect way to toast the end of summer, or ring in the harbinger of fall.
It may seem a little bit like a summer drink, but I think limes have a place in cocktails year round. Think of cranberries and lime? That classic combination is there for a reason. If you have little ones running around, this drink is still refreshing even without the vodka. It’s also great with gin if that’s your preferred spirit.
