Lime for Liqueur Infusions – Flavor & Pairing Tips

Lime brings energy and vibrancy to liqueurs. Its bright acidity cuts through sweetness, while aromatic oils from the zest add a fresh, floral lift. The juice enhances balance and clarity, creating a light, tangy backbone that pairs beautifully with herbs, berries, and tropical fruits. When used in moderation, lime contributes a refined tartness that enlivens the palate, making liqueurs taste cleaner, crisper, and more refreshing.
