The importance of the lime
November 16th, 2005 by Bill
The fruit know as lime is a vitally important one. This cannot be stressed enough.
Where, for example, would our cosmopolitans be without the lime?
Some would treat this pseudo-martini beverage with disrespect by using the sugary and sticky Rose’s Lime Cordial but that is like sex without foreplay - the need is met but the enjoyment is lost.
And where would the mainstay of all worthy drinking, the Gin and Tonic (aka G&T) be without a slice of lime?
Nowhere. Absolutely nowhere. Look at this poor bugger. I bet he’d rather be inside with a cosmopolitan - made with the juices of real lime.
Last night, I toasted the merits of the little lime with the cosmopolitan you see here. (This cosmo no longer exists. Yum.)

In defence of Rose’s Lime Cordial, it does make for a nice Gimlet.
Limes are essential if you are drinking Tecate, as well. Mmm. Gimlet.
now i want a drink.
