How to Make Simple Syrup
Make your simple syrup by combining the sugar and water in a small pot, heat and stir until all sugar is melted. Remove from heat, cool. Once at room temp, pour into a mason jar, put a lid on it and store in your fridge until ready to use.
Supreme your limes (peel with a knife and cut into segments).
Set aside the lime segments. Squeeze all skin juice and leftover lime pulp juice into a small mason jar. Squeeze additional limes into the jar as well (1 or 2).
Grab a tall glass, plop a few lime segments into it, muddle. Add in lime juice and simple syrup (start with 1 TBS of simple syrup and add more later to get to your preferred level of sweetness).
Fill glass with ice, top with seltzer, stir, taste and adjust for sweetness and enjoy!

Calories calculates using just 2 TBS of the simple syrup mixture per soda.

Calories and amount of lime simple syrup needed will depend on size of glass uses as well as preference for sweetness.
