Kansas City Ice Water Recipe
Celebrate the arrival of spring with this crisp and refreshing lime cocktail! I can’t believe it, but this is my first beverage recipe on Unwed Housewife. And boy, does Kansas City Ice Water make a great cocktail to kick off Unwed Housewife’s drink section. It’s light and sweet with the tangy taste of lime, making it the perfect cocktail to keep cool in the spring.
If you’re wondering what the heck is this? you’re not alone! I’d never heard of this drink until a few months ago. My boyfriend and I were eating Chicken Pad Thai dinner at our favorite dining place and our waiter mentioned that Kansas City Ice Water was special. I gave one a try and instantly fell in love!
So, what does this drink taste like? It’s sort of like Long Island Iced Tea’s younger sibling. Just like a Long Island, it’s strong and practically has no taste of alcohol. But instead of using dark cola as a mixer, this is mixed with lemon-lime soda, making it less heavy and slightly sour (which I love).
Have you ever tried Kansas City Ice Water? If you haven’t, I hope you give this recipe a try. Let me know how you like it. But be careful because like Long Islands, these cocktails are really easy to drink!
