• Pour the mix through a sieve, so that all the pulpy bits remain and you have lots of juice. Have a taste - if it's too sour, add a bit more sugar. This can be made 2 days ahead and chilled. Pour into a big jug with lots of ice and the lime slices, and top up with soda water. Serve with a shot of vodka or rum, if you like.
