Add the quartered limes and 4 cups of cold water to a high-speed blender. Blitz for about 5 to 10 seconds, just enough to break down the limes and release their juices. Be careful not to over-blend, as this can make the drink bitter.

Pour the blended lime and water mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a large pitcher or bowl. Press down on the solids with a spoon or spatula to extract as much liquid as possible, then discard the lime pulp and pieces.

Blend the mixture again for about 10 to 15 seconds, or until it is smooth, creamy, and frothy. The ice will help create the signature frothy texture.
