lime juice
Green citrus liquid
Lime juice is the liquid extracted from limes, used in cooking, cocktails, and beverages.
It adds bright acidity to dishes like ceviche and key lime pie, and appears in drinks from margaritas to gimlets.
Add a squeeze of lime juice to brighten the flavors.
Bottled lime juice is convenient but lacks the complexity of fresh-squeezed.
