Lime

Lime is a vibrant, tangy fruit that brings a fresh, zesty flavor to cocktails, commonly used for both its juice and zest. It’s essential in drinks like the Margarita or Mojito, where its sharp acidity balances sweetness and enhances the other flavors. Limes pair well with a wide range of spirits, including rum, tequila, gin, and vodka. Its versatility and bright citrus profile make it a go-to ingredient for refreshing cocktails and garnishes.
