lime cordial

Green fruit concentrate

Lime cordial is a sweetened, concentrated lime syrup mixed with water to make a drink.

It's the traditional mixer in a gimlet and other cocktails.

British lime cordial tends to be sweeter and more artificial-tasting than fresh lime juice, which purists prefer: The recipe calls for lime cordial, not fresh lime.
