Answer 6

well there are countless ways to make lime juice i dont know how it is made in singapore but by me there are three best ways to make it....

1. Turning Sweet Lime into a Cocktail

Never one to stand on tradition when it comes to mixology, I juiced a few sweet limes and tried them in traditional citrus cocktails. If you come a across some sweet limes, try substituting some or all of the lemon or lime juice in your favorite recipe with sweet lime. You'll need about one third of the total sugar than when using lemons, and it delivers an interesting, subtle twist.

2. I am a gin person and came up with this recipe. Try it for yourself and see what you think! it is good....

The Sweet Lime Limited

2 ounces of gin

3 ounces sweet lime juice

2 Basil Leaves

1 ounce simple syrup (a.k.a. sugar water, a tablespoon of sugar or more to taste dissolved in a little warm water will do if you don't have simple syrup handy)

Pinch of salt

Splash of Soda Water

Combine and serve over ice in an chilled tumbler.

3. Singapore Sling as people call it somewhere....

Ingredients: 45 ml gin; 15 ml Cherry Heering (a Danish cherry liqueur); 10 ml Benedictine; 15 ml freshly squeezed lime juice; 1 dash Angostura bitters; 90 ml pineapple juice; Maraschino cherry or Pineapple Spear for garnish

Combine liquid ingredients in an icefilled mixing glass and blend well. Strain into an old-fashioned glass. Garnish with a spear of pineapple and a maraschino cherry.
