Ingredients

  • 6 SERVINGS
  • Adding rum or vodka to this plum limeade makes a delicious cocktail. With or without alcohol, the limeade should be served immediately, since it will quickly darken if left standing.
  • 1 lime, cut into 6 wedges and seeded
  • 1 lb ripe red or black plums, quartered and pitted
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed ice
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 2/3 cup superfine granulated sugar
  • GARNISH: plum and lime slices and fresh mint sprigs

Preparation

Step 1

Blend lime wedges (including peel) in a blender on high speed 10 seconds.

Add plums, ice, water, and sugar and blend until plums are puree, about 15 seconds.

Pour through a very fine sieve into a pitcher, pressing on solids. Stir limeade and serve immediately over ice.
