Lime Juice

Lime juice is the backbone of tropical and Latin-inspired cocktails. The Margarita, Daiquiri, and Mojito all depend on it. Like lemon juice, fresh is non-negotiable — Rose’s sweetened lime juice is a different product entirely and shouldn’t be used as a substitute. Persian limes are the standard grocery store variety and work perfectly. Key limes have a more floral, slightly bitter quality that works well in certain tiki drinks.
