Trader Joe's Fresh Squeezed Limeade

Nothing says “summer” quite like an ice-cold glass of lemonade or limeade. (We’re lime-lovers these days, so let’s focus on the latter.) Sure, you can squeeze the stuff yourself—but it’ll require a whole ’lotta limes, some brute strength, and an ability to tolerate a sticky mess. Or you can simply buy your Fresh Squeezed Limeade at Trader Joe’s.

Most store-bought limeades only approximate the results you’d get at home and typically include added flavors or even high fructose corn syrup. They’re also typically made from reconstituted lime juice concentrate. Trader Joe’s Fresh Squeezed Limeade, on the other hand, is the closest thing to homemade you’ll find. Our recipe includes only three ingredients: sugar, water, and fresh, not-from-concentrate lime juice (which accounts for around 20% of the recipe!) Our supplier—a third-generation, family-owned fresh juice producer—not only expertly grows, selects, and squeezes the citrus themselves; they also purposely don’t pasteurize the juice, which allows the pure, sweet-tart Limeade flavor to shine through.
