    Strawberry lemonade has always been my go-to drink, but when I was introduced to calamansi juice, it immediately became my only and favorite drink.

    I seriously drank it all. the. time. To the point where I actually got sick, because I’m me, and I get sick when I drink or eat anything too sugary.

    And since it’s warming up (at least in California), let’s kick it off with this delicious and refreshing calamansi juice.

    Something to note, if you can’t find fresh calamansi, you can find bottled calamansi at your local Asian market.
