An enduring bar staple, the tart and potent flavor of lime cordial has been called on by generation after generation in their pursuit of a refreshing, slightly bitter, very sour, and incredibly quaffable cocktail. Only - the quality of the options left a lot to be desired. Lucky for us, the craft distillery pioneers over at Leopold Bros. have been distilling and capturing the essence of citrus for over 20 years, and their brand new Sour Lime Cordial is the most exciting ingredient to hit our home bar in years. And like a lot of our other recent favorites - it's fun, easy to use, pairs with just about everything, and is freaking delicious. Top off with sparkling water and make a boozy soda. Upgrade your highball by layering in a pour of your favorite spirit - blanco tequila, gin, rum, or vodka. Try muddling the lime cordial with a bit of cucumber, jalapeno, mint, or cilantro. For shaken cocktails, reduce the amount of fresh lime or lemon juice the recipe calls for - the Leopold Lime is bringing lots of acidity as well.
