    So, horchata is bomb as fuck but my favorite Mexican place also made fresh-squeezed limeade and I’ve never had better limeade and I fucking love limeade. The shit you get from the store has a weird bitter aftertaste that fresh squeezed does not, either that or they just dumped so much sugar in the bitterness was fully hidden. However, I don’t think that’s the case because it’s really rare that I suck on a lime and taste bitterness.

    Anyway, fresh horchata, agua de Jamaica, and limeade are all fucking delicious.

      I was so confused what the fuck a limeade was and forgot not everyone calls them lemons. You can just squeeze them at home. Don’t even need to add sugar unless you really like sweetness. Way better than yellow lemonade.

      I’d make them everyday but limes are too expensive to be doing that

      Edit: I have just discovered Mexicans have their own special variety of limes that are sweet instead of sour. Explains those misshapen limes I’ve seen in stores before.
