Notes

Helpful tips

  • Since this cocktail is mostly booze, use the best alcohol you can afford. In my opinion, there is a taste difference.
  • It’s good practice to wash your citrus before either juicing or using as garnish. Since we’re only using 1 – 2 limes, I wash them by squirting some unscented natural hand soap in my hand and take each lime and rub the soap on the skin. Next, I take a vegetable brush and scrub the skin. I run each piece of fruit under cold water making sure all of the soap has washed off.
  • If you're washing a bunch of limes - fill a bowl with 3 cup of water and add 1 cup of white vinegar and let it sit for 10 minutes.  Rinse the limes under running water and use a brush to scrub the skin.
  • Use fresh lime juice because it's not as acidic and Rose's lime juice.
  • I have since purchased this cloth that is coarse on one side and smooth on the other. You wash and scrub the skin with the coarse side, and if necessary, buff the skin with the other.
  • The premium orange liqueur I use is Cointreau, but if you are budget-conscious, you can use triple sec instead.
  • I'm using lime wheels as a garnish, but you can also add a lime wedge to each glass.
