Colour: Yellow with green glints. Taste: Strong nose of lime peel, sweet & acidic taste, a bit tart. One of the best uses of Monin Lime syrup for me is to combine it in a margarita cocktail. Its strong lime peel taste is absolutely perfect for this application. Known as the lemon of South America, limes are small green yellow fruit with sour, acidic pulp, generally smaller & less sour than lemons. The top-five lime producing countries are India, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil & Spain. A staple of Mexican, Thai & Vietnamese cooking & typical of Persian, Iraqi & Indian cuisine, limes are used for both the acidity of the juice & floral aroma of the rind. Ceviche (the cooking of raw fish in lime juice), lime pickle, marmalade & sorbet are all popular uses. Many classic cocktails such as Gin & Tonic, Caipirinha, Margarita, Mojito & Cuba Libre have the tart, aromatic flavour of lime. Recreate a classic cocktail or conjure a new inspiration with a South American vibe with the sweet acidic taste of Monin Lime syrup. For best results keep refrigerated & use within 4 weeks.
