Lime Soda
This lime soda is an easy summer alternative to plain old water made with lime juice, soda water, and a little salt. Natch, there's always the option of adding a splash of something stronger and turning it into a cocktail.

Notes
- Lime Spritzer: Turn this simple soda into a cocktail by adding 1 ounce of gin or vodka. You may want to go a little light on the soda water.
- Angostura Orange Soda: For a slightly sweeter version of this soda, swap in freshly squeezed orange juice and a few drops Angostura bitters for the lime juice and salt and use an orange slice in place of the lime wedge. Splash in 1 ounce vodka or rum if you like.
