A splash, or more, of a nice gin would not be amiss.

I still remember as a little girl getting a lime Rickey on the Wildwood boardwalk and thinking it was the best. We make these at the shore in summer with Thyme simple syrup and adult guests choice of gin or vodka. Both work deliciously!

Delicious - I took to heart the comments about Santa Cruz lime juice and used 2 tbsp of that and 2 tbsp of the syrup. I also used lime seltzer. Perfect.

I steeped 2 chamomile tea bags in 8 oz hot water. let cool. Added a few drops of stevia. Squeezed half a lime in a highball glass with ice. Poured half tea and filled rest with soda water. Had a vaguely smokey, almost bourbon like undertone but with a clean finish from the lime. Will definitely make this again

Really good. And not too difficult to make.
