- Preheat the barbecue for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Pour sugar into a large saucepan; press halved lemons and limes cut-side down into the sugar.
- Set the saucepan on the bbq grate; cook until lemons and limes are browned, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the lemon and lime halves to a bowl to cool. Set the saucepan aside to use later for making a sugar syrup.
- Place the lemon and lime slices directly on the grate; cook until charred, 30 to 60 seconds on each side.
- Stir 500ml water into the cooked sugar mixture in the reserved saucepan. Place back on the bbq grate; whisk until sugar has dissolved and mixture turns into a syrup.
- Juice halved lemons and limes into a large jug or pitcher. Add 500ml water and the syrup to the juice, 150ml at a time, until the limeade achieves desired sweetness. Pour limeade into glasses filled with ice; garnish with charred citrus slice.

Grilling the sugared lemons and limes first gave this such an amazing flavor. I'll bet it would be great with a little ginger simple syrup, too. - 01 Jul 2016 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
