- 6-8 Whole Fresh limes
- 1 Cup Granulated sugar

- Adjusting Sweetness: For a less sweet cordial, reduce the sugar slightly and taste as you go to find your preferred sweetness level.
- Extra Tang: Citric acid enhances the tangy flavor and acts as a natural preservative, so don’t skip it if you like a punchier taste.
- Serving Ideas: Mix with soda water for a refreshing lime soda or use it in cocktails like gin gimlets and margaritas.
