This sweet-tart syrup will be enough for both the rickeys and the fruit cup. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups sugar |
1 cup water |
6 tablespoons fresh lime juice, strained through a fine-mesh sieve |
4 drops green food coloring (if making cherry lime rickeys) |
Directions:
1. Stir together sugar, water, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until syrup has thickened slightly, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a glass measure and chill, uncovered, until cool, then stir in lime juice and food coloring.
