A great way to enhance the taste of your cocktail is to use lime juice. Lime is a green cousin to lemons or oranges. It has both sweet and acidic flavors. Vitamin C is found in lime, which helps protect against scurvy. You can also use lime juice to infuse spirits. Lime juice is commonly added to cosmopolitans or other traditional cocktails.
Freshly squeezed lime juice is the key to making lime juice cocktails. Although bottled lime juice can be found in many supermarkets, it's not as delicious. Fresh lime juice imparts a stronger, more intense taste. For a milder taste, you can age the juice for a few more hours.
It is possible to add other ingredients to a cocktail. A sweet liqueur (such as rum) can also be used along with sugar syrup. The sugar syrup will take out the bitterness from citrus. You can also use granulated sugar if you don't have a sugar syrup. However, it won't dissolve as fast as powdered sugar. You will need to add more lime to get the desired flavor if you use granulated.
Mojito is one of the most loved lime cocktails. This refreshing drink is made using lime juice and Rum, and balanced with mint. Copper mugs are often used to cool the drink. Ernest Hemingway, in the 1930s, popularized the Mojito. The rum mojito is a similar drink to the classic lime cocktail. Caipirinha, a special lime cocktail, is another option. This drink was born in Brazil, where it is the national drink. Cachaca is sugar cane and makes the Caipirinha. You can also add lemon juice to the Caipirinha.
The Dark and Stormy lime cocktail is another common one. This drink has a classic flavor of lime, but it also contains brown sugar. It's often served with a lime wedge. It makes a great highball cocktail. It's often served with ice to add a refreshing, refreshing taste. You can also add mint leaves to enhance the flavor.
The lime drop martini is another great cocktail that uses lime juice. This drink is made with vodka, superfine and triple sec. It is great for a summer brunch. You can make it ahead of guests, and it is very easy to make. You can also make a lemon drop martini, which is made with lemon juice. Citron vodka can be used in place of lemon juice.
