Hi Everyone! It’s Adelle from PackedwithFun.com, the official blog for Get Away Today. On a hot day there is nothing quite as refreshing as a Lime Rickey. Since we’re always trying to recreate some Disney magic at home, we decided to make our favorite drink with a twist and call them a Lime Mickey. They were a hit with my kids and I think they’ll be a hit with yours too!
Here’s all you need:
Grape Syrup (recipe below)
Lemon Lime Soda
Limes
Ice
Straw (you don’t need these, but they sure add a fun element!)
The secret to a tasty Lime Mickey is the homemade grape syrup. It is sweet and adds just the right amount of grape flavor to the beverage. You can make a batch in a matter of minutes.
You will need:
2 C Sugar
1 C Water
1 Package of Grape Koolaid
Combine the water and sugar in saucepan. Stir over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Let the contents boil for a few minutes and then remove from heat.
Add the flavor packet and stir until it is completely incorporated.
You could get really creative here and use this recipe to make all sorts of syrup flavors. Cherry, Peach-Mango, Green Apple, Fruit Punch… the combinations are endless! Once you’re done with your syrup, transfer it into a container that will be good for pouring and storage.
Start making your Lime Mickey by cutting a lime into round slices. Put a few slices of lime at the bottom of your glass and then add ice. Cut a small slit into the side of two lime circles and hang them over the side of your glass to create the Mickey ears.
Pour some grape syrup into the cup. It is very sweet, so start with just a little bit and then add more later if you want more flavor. Then add your lemon lime soda. Stir with a spoon or straw to mix the flavors together. Enjoy!
