• 1 cup Sugar
• ½ cup Water
• ¼ cup to ½ cup Rich Simple Syrup (depending on how tart or sweet you like your limeade)

Directions

• To make the rich simple syrup for the mint limeade fizz, dissolve 1 cup of sugar into ½ cup of water in a small pot over the stove by stirring.
• Once it boils, remove the pot from the heat and allow to cool.
• To make the limeade fizz, add your desired amount of rich simple syrup to a pitcher.
• Stir in lime juice.
• Stir in carbonated water.
• To make the sugar and zest mixture to line the rim of each glass, combine the zest of 1 lime with ¼ cup sugar in a plate.
• Rub 1 lime wedge around the rim of each glass to slightly wet the rim. Dip the rim of each glass in the zest and sugar mixture to coat.
• Add a couple thin lime wedges and a pinch of sliced mint leaves to each glass. Muddle them with the back of a wooden spatula to release the flavors in each glass.
• Add crushed ice to the top of each glass. Add the limeade fizz and enjoy!
