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. Lime is also rich in vitamin C, which protects against scurvy. Lime juice can be used to infuse spirits. Lime juice can be added to traditional cocktails such as cosmopolitans.
You can make lime juice cocktails by using freshly squeezed lemon juice. Although you can find bottled limes in most supermarkets and it tastes just as good, it is not quite as good. Fresh lime juice has a stronger lime flavor. You can also age it for a few hours to get a milder flavor.
You can also use other ingredients in your cocktail. A sweet liqueur (such as rum) can also be used along with sugar syrup. Sugar syrup will neutralize the citrus's bitter flavor. Even if the sugar syrup is not available, granulated can be substituted. However, it will not dissolve nearly as fast as powdered. To achieve the desired flavor, you'll need to add more lime juice if you're using granulated sugar.
