I encountered this drink in an obscure Doon Club in northern India in my teenage years – wasn’t allowed to drink alcohol. The taste, and especially the name (sounds like Zeher – poison), stayed in my memory. I finally recreated that excellent drink based on what I remember it tasted like.
INGREDIENTS
1. Frozen Limeade concentrate (NOT lemonade)
2. 7up or Sprite or GingerAle chilled
3. Kala Namak (Black Salt) or Chaat Masala
4. Ice
5. Dash of Vodka – optional
STEPS
1. Partially defrost the frozen limeade and add 2 tablespoons of the concentrate to a glass.
2. Add 1/4 teaspoon of Kala Namak (Black Salt) or Chaat Masala
3. Add a dash of vodka – if you want
4. Stir
5. Add chilled 7up or Sprite or GingerAle
6. Add Ice
Enjoy!!!
ShowMeTheCurry notes: We tried it and it was awesome. Thanks for the submission.

Limeade is just lime juice with powdered sugar in it. It is very easy to make at home…we just took the easy (read lazy) way out;-)

hey thx for the immediate reply.If I could give u little more trouble has it to be thick?

SDZG:
No, it does not need to be thick. Make sure that the powdered sugar is mixed in well and the syrup is of ‘sticky’ consistency. In 2 tbsps or lime juice, I would add 2 tbsps of powdered (castor) sugar. Hope this helps.

The thickness of the syrup is not important. It is more important to make sure that the ratio of sweet and sour is according to your taste. There is no need to heat the ingredients.

what is the difference b/w black salt and salt? can we subtitute regular table salt for black salt?
[Reply]
February 3rd, 2009 at 3:36 pm
Hi Tina,
Black salt is an unrefined mineral salt that is pinkish gray and has a strong sulfuric flavor. As strange as that may sound, it gives certain Indian dishes (chaat, for example) the unique flavor. It is also considered to be a cooling spice in ayurvedic medicine and is used as a laxative and digestive aid.
It is a key ingredient in this recipe so plain salt will not be a good substitute. You can find it at any Indian grocery store (aka kala namak or sanchal).

This is amazing, and with a twist you could make the Shirley temple:
orange juice, sprite (or any lemon flavored carbonated beverage), and syrup

Hi gals,
Thanks for the recipe. Can you please let me know the recipe for chaat masala.

Hi Sruthi,
Your best bet is to get the ready made one.
Chaat Masala needs a lot of different and unusual types of salt which even in India are hard to come by easily

Hi,
Can you please tell me the name of the store from where I can find Limeaid. I tried in shoprite, they have frozen lemonade or frozen magaritas. Can I use frozen lemonade.
Thanks,

Hi Sonu,
We have seen them at Kroger and Walmart. Lemonade can be used but it has a distinctly different taste.
