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.

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.
