Tips & Suggestions

Preparation

Preparation Tip 1

Always choose firm, heavy Persian limes and cut them into four uniform wedges to maximise juice and essential oil extraction when muddling.

Preparation Tip 2

For an extra fragrant touch, gently squeeze one of the muddled lime wedges on the rim of the glass before serving to release the last oils directly into the drink.
