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. Lime juice can also be used to infuse spirits. Lime juice is often added to cosmopolitans and other traditional cocktails.
Freshly squeezed lime juice is the key to making lime juice cocktails. Although bottled lime juice can be found in many supermarkets, it's not as delicious. Fresh lime juice gives a much more intense lime flavor. It can also be aged for a few hours for a mellower taste.
It is possible to add other ingredients to a cocktail. A sweet liqueur (such as rum) can also be used along with sugar syrup. The sugar syrup will remove the bitter taste from 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 a popular lime cocktail. This refreshing drink is made from lime juice and rum. It is balanced with mint. The copper mug cools the drink and is commonly used for serving it. Ernest Hemingway first popularized the Mojito during the 1930s. You can also try the rum mojito, which is similar to the classic lime cocktail. Caipirinha is an alternative to the classic lime cocktail. 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 try it with lemon juice.
Another common lime cocktail is the Dark and Stormy. This drink has a classic flavor of lime, but it also contains brown sugar. You may add a lime wedge to this drink. It is a great highball drink. The refreshing flavor of the drink is enhanced by topping it with ice. To add flavor, the drink can be served with a mint leaf.
The lime drop martini is another great cocktail that uses lime juice. This drink is made with superfine sugar, vodka, and triple sec. This drink is great for summer parties and brunches. It is easy to make so you can prepare it ahead for your guests. You can also make a lemondrop martini with lemon juice. You can also try replacing lemon juice with citron vodka.

What are some good mixed drinks you can order at a bar.
An Old Fashioned is something I recommend. This is a classic cocktail made with bourbon whiskey.
This name derives from the fact that the original recipe was made without ice. Original recipe used whiskey, sugar, bitters, and other ingredients.
When people began adding ice to the mix they added "Old-Fashioned," to the title as they believed the old-fashioned version tasted best.
You could also try a Manhattan. This is another great option. It is basically a variation of the Old Fashioned. Instead of using bourbon you use rye whisky. You also use sweet vermouth instead of sugar.
This is a popular option for bartenders due to its simplicity and delicious taste.
