Story

You could also replace the Splenda with a diet powdered drink like Crystal Light, using a lemonade or other similar flavor.
You'll get the most flavor out of your lime and lemon if you let them sit out in a sunny window until they get warm before you squeeze them.
Note: Here's a trick for the ice cubes - Zest the lime and lemon before squeezing them for juice. Spoon the zest into ice cube trays, then fill with fresh water and freeze. Use those 'zest filled' ice cubes for serving.
