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
-
Blend lime wedges (including peel) in a blender on high speed 10 seconds. Add plums, ice, water, and sugar and blend until plums are puréed, about 15 seconds. Pour through a very fine sieve into a pitcher, pressing on solids. Stir limeade and serve immediately over ice.
