A refreshing lime drink

This is a drink that I came up with after a roommate asked me to try a variation on a old fashioned cherry cream soda that I love making. I'll post that one after a little while and put a link up for anyone who's interested.

So we made a trip to Wal-Mart, the only store within ten miles. We grabbed three things, which you will need if you don't have them on hand. And gathered the rest.

Ingredients:
2 cup sugar
1 cup water
2 limes [varies to taste]
1 to 2 liters of Sam's Kiwi Lime Sparkling Soda

All you really need to do is make a simple syrup out of the sugar and water...heat them together till it's clear. Let that cool and add the soda and syrup to a pitcher. Add the lime juice and throw in the limes so the rind releases some of it's flavor into the drink. Simple :D
[If you'd like, you can use the pre-squeezed bottles of lime juice, but it's not as good. I've done one fresh lime and some store bought juice, and it worked out fine, but fresh is the best!]

If you really want the lime to kick, I suggest pealing one of the limes and putting the green zest into the syrup as it's being made and let it sit in it while it cools. Squeeze the lime juice of the pealed lime into the drink after mixing the syrup and soda then throw it out. The white stuff on the lime will turn the drink completely bitter with an underlying ting of sweet if you throw it in.
