The importance of the lime

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.)
