My mother never really bought sodas for us when we were kids. Since I try to do the same with my kids, I wanted to make a homemade "healthier" version of lemon lime soda for them.
It was so easy (the hardest part was squeezing out all the juice). My homemade lemon lime soda turned out fantastic and my family loved. I know it's still spring, but summer will be here before we know it. I will definitely be serving a lot of this refreshing drink on those long hot days.
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
1-2 liters club soda (carbonated water)
lemon and lime slices to garnish
