Used to go to Kresge’s in Roseland, south of Chicago Loop.
They had a lime freeze drink (soda?). Sure wish I could find a recipe for that.
Thanks.
Hi Lorrie,
Sorry, I found a few Kresge's recipes, but not one for the lime freeze.
I'll post this. Maybe one of my readers can help.

Hi Lorrie,
Still no luck with a Kresge's recipe for this, but I have found a couple of "lime freeze"
recipes that you might want to try. I have no idea what the Kresge's drink was like, so
these may not be like it at all - they may just have the same name. One has ice cream, and
the other is an old-fashioned soda fountain drink. Note that in the second recipe,
"coarse stream" is just a soda fountain term for carbonated water(club soda). I'm not sure
what "mash" refers to in that recipe, but it may mean to squeeze the lime and/or to crush
the mint to release the flavor.

1 tsp. vanilla + as many ice cubes as will fit in the blender.

Fresh Lime Freeze
Chipped ice, 1 fresh lime, sprig of mint, and mash;
1/4 ounce orange syrup, 1/4 ounce lemon syrup, 1 tea-
spoonful crushed pineapple fruit. Draw coarse stream
and top off with slice of orange and maraschino cherry.
This makes a cool and refreshing drink.
