Lime CordialMikkel Vang
Lime cordial is a mixture of sweet limeade syrup and beer, club soda, or seltzer, in a ratio of about 3 parts syrup to 1 part beer or soda (the syrup by itself can also be properly called lime cordial). The wonderfully refreshing drink both complements and tames intense spices.
Cooks' note:
Lime cordial, without beer or club soda, keeps, covered and chilled, 5 days.
