All about Lime Juice

The juice for Limes can be used in a wide variety of ways. Limes are slightly sour and tart in flavour. Their acidic content helps bring balance to alcoholic drinks by neutralising them. On some occasions Limes may actually overpower the drink itself, completely changing what it tastes like. This may be a good thing, depending on what you’re going for, but if you’re looking to bring out the flavour of the spirit within the drink, this might not be ideal.. Lime Juice for cocktails may be a suitable alternative, as is not as tart or sour as dropping a wedge of lime in the cocktail.

 

Is lime juice good for you?

Vitamin C

Lime Juice is recognised to encourage your H2O consumption. Naturally this is a benefit, as our bodies need a considerable amount of water throughout the day. The water consumption is also good for the skin… and so is Vitamin C, which is rich in Lime Juice.

Vitamin C also boosts the amount of white blood cells in body, and keeps them healthy. This in turn helps your immune system fight off sickness and illness.

Antioxidants

Lime Juice contains antioxidants, which helps fight against inflammation, further boosting your immune response.

Simple Cocktails with lime juice

Classic Daiquiri

The Daiquiri goes back hundreds of years. It’s usually a mix of white rum, citrus juice (in our case, Lime Juice), and a sweetener. 

You need:

  • 3 Tablespoons of white Rum
  • 2 Tablespoons of fresh lime juice
  • 1 Tablespoon of simple syrup (a 1:1 mix of water and sugar)

You’ll want to add this to a cocktail shaker with some crushed ice. Once you shake it up, pour it into a glass and serve. If you want to feel particular tropical, add a lime wedge to the rim of the glass.

 

Gin Gimlet

The Gin Gimlet is another drink made in a cocktail shaker.

You’ll need:

  • 2 Ounces of Gin
  • ½ Ounce of Lime Juice
  • ½ Ounce of Syrup
  • Feel free to add a dash of fizzy water to neutralise the flavour in the drink.

 Again, add this all together with some crushed ice, and then server into a cocktail glass. You can even garnish it with a lime wheel in the drink.

 

And there you have it folks...

Everything to do with lime juice. From its taste to its health benefits, and even how to utilise it in some of the best cocktails!
