lime syrup

Green fruit concentrate

Lime syrup is a sweetened liquid flavoring made from lime juice and sugar, used in cocktails, sodas, and desserts.

It provides concentrated citrus sweetness without the texture of fresh fruit: The bartender added a splash of lime syrup to the mojito.

Commercial versions are common in bars; homemade versions allow control over sweetness and tartness.
