SPARKLING LIMEADE
FOR THE SIMPLE SYRUP:
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water

33 ounces lemon-lime-flavored seltzer water (from a 1-liter bottle)
Ice, for serving
Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved to form a simple syrup. Remove from the heat.
Combine the lime zest and juice and the seltzer in a 1-quart container; add the simple syrup to taste.
