It is possible to make a cocktail more flavorful by adding lime juice. Lime is a cousin of lemons and oranges. It has a sweet, acidic flavor. Lime is also rich in vitamin C, which protects against scurvy. You can also infuse spirits with lime juice. Lime juice is often added in cosmopolitans as well as other traditional cocktails.
Lime juice cocktails can be made by using freshly squeezed lime. While bottled lime juice is available in most supermarkets, it is not as tasty. Fresh lime juice is much more flavorful. For a milder taste you can also age it for a short time.
A cocktail can also include other ingredients. A sweet liqueur (such as rum) can also be used along with sugar syrup. The sugar syrup will take the sour edge off the 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. If you are using granulated, you will need additional lime juice to achieve desired flavor.
Mojito is one of the most loved lime cocktails. This refreshing drink is made from lime juice and rum. It is balanced with mint. Copper mugs are often used to cool the drink.

This drink was born in Brazil, where it is the national drink. The Caipirinha is made with cachaca, which is made from sugar cane. You can also mix it with lemon.
Another popular lime cocktail is The Dark and Stormy. This drink has a classic lime flavor, but with brown sugar notes. This drink is often served with a lime wedge. It's a fantastic highball drink. It is often topped with ice, which adds to the refreshing flavor of the drink. The drink can also be served with a mint sprig for added flavor.
Another great cocktail using lime juice is the limedrop martini. This drink is made with superfine sugar, vodka, and triple sec. This drink is great for summer parties and brunches. It is also easy to make, so you can make it in advance for your guests. You can also make a lemon drop martini, which is made with lemon juice. Citron vodka can be used in place of lemon juice.

How To
How to Make the Best Manhattan Cocktail
A Manhattan is one of the most famous cocktails in the world. It was first described by Harry Craddock in his book "The Savoy Bar Book", published in 1930. In this cocktail, equal amounts of sweet vermouth, dry vermouth, gin, and rye whiskey are mixed together with ice cubes. Some people add bitters or orange juice, maraschino cherries, or Angostura Bitters. The Manhattan recipe has many variations, such as the Old Fashioned.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail that's made with four ingredients. It's served in a chilled glass. The Four Deuces cocktail was first created in the 19th century. It consisted of two measures whisky, two measurements of rye and two measures gin. Bartenders and drinkers still love the original recipe.
Some prefer bourbon to rye and others prefer to drink brandy. Both work equally well. You should use equal amounts of each ingredient in a Manhattan. You would use two shots each of rye and sweet vermouth. Four shots of dry vermouth is also recommended. Eight shots of vodka are sufficient. Mix all ingredients together and leave to sit for 15 minutes. Strain the mixture into a bowl and serve. Garnish the glass with a maraschino cherry and a twist of lemon zest.
