Description
The lime you are probably used to is known as a Persian lime, a cross between key limes and lemons, although many other species do exist, are widely used and are delicious (looking at you kaffir lime). Did you know that many species of citrus are incredibly closely related? Species of the genus, 'Citrus', can readily hybridise. This means that nearly all of the citrus fruit we enjoy are various combinations of genes from the citron (Citrus medica), the mandarin (Citrus reticulata), the pomelo (Citrus maxima) and the micrantha (Citrus micrantha). But you didn’t come here for a science lesson, let’s talk booze. We don’t know about you but the Mojito is one of our absolute favourite drinks. So why not add a little extra somethin’ somethin’ to your next cocktail party by creating a blend that is heavy on lime and accompanying citrus, in our white rum base? Alternatively look to a concoction that pairs lime with pineapple and a little cardamom.
