Something cool





Limes are plentiful in Panama. They're everywhere you look. Consequently you can buy about 20 limes for a buck. We use limes for everything; salad dressing, key lime pie, Zella's exotic and pretend "cold lime soup" and now this new drink we've been gargling down for the last couple of months. Actually, it's not all that new, but it's reallllly tasty.
  • About six ounces of Quinac (or Tonic Water at home)
  • Three mini-limes (about the size of a large walnut) yielding almost 1/2 a cup of juice

Crush the limes into the Quinac, add copious amounts of ice and enjoy. It brings down your core temperature by several degrees. Which is always a good thing in Panama.

(For those of you seasoned Gin and Tonic drinkers....yes, this is a virgin G&T:).
