Simply Lemonade and Simply Limeade

This past summer I tried Simply Lemonade and Simply Limeade, two new products from the Simply Orange Juice Company. I usually make my lemonades and limeades from scratch, but when I saw these I gave them a chance and was quite surprised. They tasted almost like I had made them myself, chock full of zesty and tangy citrus flavor and very refreshing.

Now December isn't the time of year I would normally talk about lemon and limeade but these make great mixers for either an adult or children's holiday punch. With their tart, real citrus flavor they bring some depth to what would normally be a boring punch. I used a mix of the two with red wine and splash of dark rum and I very suddenly became quite festive. The punch goes great with any type of celebration: winter, spring, summer, or fall.

It's a great idea to use the juices in cocktails. Not to admit to laziness or anything, but it certainly is easier than working from scratch with the whole fruits when you just want to relax!

This product has actually been out for quite a while out here in California, well over a year. While I don't prefer it over the frozen limeade mix for tartness and pulp ratio, you've given a great idea for the use as a mixer. Great idea.

Yeah, I also love Simply Lemonade and Limeade. If you look at the ingredient listing, it's just juice, water and sugar. No high-fructose corn syrup.

It IS good. But if we aren't talking sheer value for price, Newman's own Lemonade and Limeade are tastier--to me.

And really, as the container is cleverly designed to offer less volume while appearing to be the same size as two quarts of other products, the value difference, isn't huge.

Simply Lemonade and Simply Limeade taste really nice. I like them and always take with me to the training as they are quite refreshing.

We have been using Simply Limeade and Simply Orange for a long time for the perfect margarita.
Start with...
2 shots 1800 (Tequila)
1 shot Triple Sec or even better use Gran Gala or Gran Marnier instead of Triple Sec
Add ice to within 1" of the top of the glass.
Add approx 2 oz Simply Limeaded
3/4 to 1 oz Simply Orange
Shake.
Drizzle Gran Marnier on the top

Similar to the other idea, I used simply lemonade and simply limeade to make popsicles. 1 part tequila, 1 part lemonade, and 3 parts limeade. Freeze em, and nosh. They tasted great, were nice and crunchy and had no aftertaste.
