Frothy Ginger Infused Limeade
Tuesday August 5, 2008 :: by Ingrid
How do you handle a hot day? Blend yourself a warm weather thirst quencher like this frothy limeade. It is a light, refreshing, and cleansing drink. The ginger adds a kick to the tart citrus flavor.
Frothy Ginger Infused Limeade
When I make this drink for myself, I go light on the agave. Add more or less agave, or sweetener of choice, as you see fit. If you are not a fan of ginger, omit it or substitute with fresh cooling mint. Share this drink with friends by multiplying the recipe or make a pitcher of it.
2 cup filtered water or crushed ice
2 tablespoons agave
2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
Juice the limes and add the juice to a blender. Add filtered water or ice cubes, agave, and the grated ginger to the blender. Blend until frothy.
Pour into a glass garnished with a lime wedge. Serve immediately.
Serves 2

Wow, that looks so appealing! And where do you find that fabulous glass?
Hi Marilyn - The glass is nice. I was lucky to receive it as a gift set from the owner of a fabulous bed and breakfast I recently visited in Oregon with my husband, best friend and her family.
I finally bought agave! Thanks Ingrid for the recommendation. It was on the pricey side but worth it. I made this drink yesterday, altering the recipe just a bit with a little more agave and it was perfect!!! I really like the twist of ginger in this drink. I’ll be making this drink again.
Zara - I’m so glad you enjoyed this drink and that you are now using agave ~ that is great!
