lime wedge

Cocktail glass accessory

A lime wedge is a section of lime cut lengthwise, typically one-sixth or one-eighth of the fruit.

Lime wedges accompany drinks and dishes, meant to be squeezed for juice: The bartender garnished the Corona with a lime wedge.

They appear alongside tacos, pad thai, and gin and tonics.
