Lime: Bright, Tangy, Endlessly Essential

The citrus that finishes nearly every Latin dish.

BRIGHT ACID, EVERY PLATE

Lime, the Citrus Every Kitchen Reaches For

Limes bring a bright, tangy acidity that finishes tacos, salsas, marinades, and drinks across Latin American cooking and beyond. Reliable, juicy, and always in demand, lime is one of the most essential ingredients in the kitchen. At Latin Specialties, we source limes for consistent quality and juice yield, case after case.

Bright, tangy, and endlessly essential—lime finishes nearly every dish.

Refreshing drink recipe

Agua de Limón (Fresh Limeade)

The everyday Mexican agua fresca: bright, tart and ice cold, made with freshly squeezed Persian limes.

  • Serves8
  • Prep15 min
  • Chill30 min

Ingredients

  • 10 to 12 Latin Specialties Persian Limes (about 1 cup of juice)
  • 6 cups cold water
  • ½ to 3/4 cup sugar, to taste
  • Ice, to serve
  • A handful of Latin Specialties Mint leaves
  • Lime slices, to garnish

Method

  1. Dissolve the sugar in 1 cup of warm water, then let it cool.
  2. Squeeze the limes by hand or with a juicer and strain out the seeds.
  3. In a large pitcher, combine the lime juice, the sugar syrup and the remaining 5 cups of cold water. Taste and adjust the sugar.
  4. Chill for at least 30 minutes and serve over ice with mint leaves and lime slices.

TipSqueeze the limes gently and never blend them whole: pressing the white pith or the peel turns the drink bitter.
