Lime
CitrusYear-RoundUsed in ~200 drinks
A sharper, more tropical acidity than lemon, with a green, slightly bitter edge that defines rum cocktails, tiki drinks, and the entire daiquiri family. Lime's flavor is more assertive and less sweet than lemon, with a distinctive aromatic oil character that reads as tropical, herbal, and slightly resinous. It is the essential acid in most Caribbean and Latin American cocktail traditions.
Aroma
Bright, green, and slightly sharp — a more aromatic, less sweet citrus than lemon, with a distinctive oily, almost piney quality from the zest.
