Combine in collins glass, then add ice and enough water to fill glass.
Stir and drop a wedge of lime in glass.
Add a cherry.
Serve with straws.
Store the lime juice and sugar mixture in the refrigerator up to 4 hours; mix with water and ice fresh for each serving.
Yes, mix the lime juice and powdered sugar up to 4 hours ahead. Add ice and garnish just before serving to prevent dilution.
Granulated sugar works but won't dissolve as quickly. Dissolve it in warm water first, then cool before mixing with lime juice.
The recipe as written is a concentrate. Add 6-8 oz water or club soda per serving, adjusted to taste preference.
Fresh lime juice is strongly recommended for best flavor, but bottled works in a pinch—use about 3 tablespoons.
Roll the lime firmly on the counter before cutting, or microwave for 10 seconds to warm it slightly before juicing.
