Cocktails with Lime cordial
Description
Lime cordial is a sweetened, concentrated lime juice syrup that dates back to 19th-century Britain, created as a way to preserve citrus flavor for long voyages and cocktails. It became a staple ingredient in classic cocktails, providing a consistent citrus kick. Its shelf stability and ease of use made it popular in bars and households alike. Modern versions are often made with natural lime juice and cane sugar. Lime cordial adds bright acidity without the variability of fresh lime. Store in a cool, dark place and refrigerate after opening.
Taste
Sweet, tart, citrusy.
Usage
Shake or stir into sours, highballs, or tropical cocktails. Can also replace fresh lime juice for a more consistent flavor.
