Limeade Punch

A delicious drink for when you have guests at home. (Source: PR handout)

One of the easiest mocktails to make, this limeade punch is lemony and yummy! Try it to find out.

You will need:
– 1/12 ounce canned limeade concentrate
– ½ liter bottle of any clear lemon drink
– Frozen raspberries or sliced limes for garnish
– Ice

Instructions:
Pour the frozen limeade concentrate in a large bowl and add the clear lemon drink. If you like your punch lemonier than usual, add about ¾ of a half litre bottle of the clear lemon drink. Otherwise, a normal quantity will do. Add ice, sliced limes, and frozen raspberries, if desired.

Additional tip: You can turn this into a cherry limeade by adding the juice of 1 (10 ounce) jar of maraschino cherries. Add an additional can of frozen limeade for some extra tartness, and garnish with the reserved maraschino cherries.

You may now raise a toast to, or bid adieu to 2020. We leave the sentiment up to you!
