Lime Juice
A lime is a citrus fruit, which is typically round, lime green in colour, in diameter, and contains acidic juice vesicles. There are several species of citrus trees whose fruits are called limes, including the Key lime (''Citrus aurantiifolia''), Persian lime, kaffir lime, finger lime, blood lime, and desert lime. Limes are a rich source of vitamin C, are sour, and are often used to accent the flavours of foods and beverages. They are grown year-round. Plants with fruit called "limes" have diverse genetic origins; limes do not form a monophyletic group. The term ''lime'' originated in other languages (from French , from Arabic , from Persian , ). Plants known as "lime" The difficulty in identifying exactly which species of fruit are called lime in different parts of the English-speaking world (the same problem applies to synonyms in other European languages) is increased by the botanical complexity of the ''Citrus'' genus itself, to which the majority of limes belong.

Sidecar (cocktail)
The sidecar is a cocktail traditionally made with brandy (usually cognac), orange liqueur (Cointreau, Grand Marnier, dry curaçao, or a triple sec), and lemon juice. It became popular in Paris and London in the early 1920s. Common modifications of the original recipe are a sugar rim, added sugar syrup, and an orange twist or lemon twist. Similar drinks The sidecar is categorized as a daisy: a spirit, citrus juice, and a liqueur as sweetener. Other well-known daisies include the margarita (literally "daisy" in Spanish) and the White Lady. Daisies are variants of the older sour formula, which use sugar for sweetening; daisies are more complex and often drier. Daisies in general and the sidecar in particular are considered more of a challenge for bartenders because the proportion of ingredients is more difficult to balance for liqueurs of variable sweetness. In its ingredients, the drink is perhaps most closely related to the older brandy crusta, which differs both in presentatio ...
