The holy grail of zest, lime is an energizing top note with a sharp, bitterly refreshing bite. It is unwaveringly bright, offering a fragrant scent that is lighter and sweeter than lemon.
Lime, also referred to as a green lemon, is a small, round, green citrus fruit. Its trees are widely grown in tropical and subtropical regions.
Small, bitter limes from South American are used in Brazil's traditional cocktail--the Caipirinha--made of cachaça alcohol and lime.null
