Notes

  • A note on squeezing limes: When you juice limes, you're also getting some delicious limey oils from its skin released into the juice. When you use a squeezer, you get most of the juices out, but if you are too rough in this process, you can also get some extra bitterness squeezed into your juice. Squeeze just enough and you'll be fine!
  • Tasting trick: if you think the limes are too sour, or then to prefer more mellow lime flavor, squeeze 1 1/2 cups of lime juice and add 1/2 cup of water. Just make sure you manage the amount of ice you add into the drink so it doesn't end up being too watery.
