Easy Lime Cordial (Natural Rose's Lime)

For this episode of Home Bar Basics we try and create a Lime Cordial at home that has all the flavors but none of the chemicals of Rose's Lime Cordial. That delicious but chemical laden Lime Cordial you find at most stores, and a lot of our first introduction (including my own) to Spirit modifiers (mixers). It is probable that Rose's Lime was first created with all natural ingredients so in this video we try and create what it would have been back when it started.
Roses Lime was created by a Scottish Entrepreneur Laughlin Rose in 1867 and was created to fill the need of the English Royal Navy. At that time the Navy had just figured out that limes were a great remedy for and great for warding off scurvy. If some of you don't know Scurvy is a common disease contracted by people at sea brought on by a deficiency in Vitamin C. English Sailors were given a lime ration to drink which drinking by itself is god awful to some people, so Mr. Rose saw a need, created a sweetened juice to make it more palatable ad the rest is history. Rose's Lime could be found on every English vessel.

Thank you fine sir with all respect intended.

[@christianjohnducusin4229]

Jow long is the shelflife?

[@maobfh]

Keep the strained lime peel, spread it out on a pan or plate and stick it in the freezer for an hour or overnight. When it is fairly solid with no wetness (you don't want sugar or salt crystals to melt) pour on some kosher salt or sugar crystals and mix it together and spread it back in the pan to freeze overnight. After it is frozen, break apart any clumps (keep it frozen) and put it in a container slightly wider than a martini glass and return it to the freezer. It makes a great rim for salty dogs, margaritas, martini mixes like cranberry lime or even a basic limeade. Just run a finger of lime cordial along the rim and then push the rim into the frozen lime peel.

[@agristoteles]

Wouldn't dehydrating it and than crushing it have a similar result? I did this with pineapple and watermelon with a little tajin/salt for half rims or for... we call them "tongues"(on the side of glasses)

[@maobfh]

@@agristoteles Why not? It would certainly last longer out of the freezer. I am living in a wet climate and I don’t have a dehydrator and dehydrated food that I buy absorbs moisture so I no longer think of that. But you are absolutely right.

[@The_Other_Matt]

@@TheEducatedBarfly The cordial definitely feels like it would benefit from the citric acid. I made one of your stirred gimlets last night with the finished cordial and it was noticeably sweet; more so than just tasting the cordial on it's own. I'll have to order some citric acid online.

Matt the recipe definitely needs Citric Acid to tame the saccharine flavor of the sugar and if it still feels sweet add another .75oz (22.5ml) Lime Juice

You think adding in like 2oz of high proof rum or clear spirit might add to the self preservation? The pH of this is probably below the threshold for most common bacteria anyway.

If I make a Gimlet, I'll be using Gin, Lime and powdered Sugar (for this cocktail I prefer powdered sugar over simple syrup). I think instead of making this lime cordial, next time I'll shave off some lime zests and shake it with the rest of the ingredients to get the oils. Think it'll do the job!

[@blahtherr]

what's the purpose of adding the citric acid? wouldn't the lime rind already make this pretty acidic? or if not that, couldn't one just add more lime juice to make this more acidic instead?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Blahtherr Ather the skin of the lime would only contain essential oils of the fruit and not much of any Citric Acid. The only Citric Acid would be from the lime juice but it’s not enough to brighten the Syrup which is what the purpose of putting Citric Acid in is.

[@franciscoleyva4413]

Zest your citrus directly into the bowl/container/blender you will be infusing into. Aside from it being cleaner and more efficient, all those oils that get expressed when you microplane land directly into what you're infusing. Rather than your cutting board.

I store my bottles in a dark cellar room. it's not as cold as a fridge though. should I from now on keep all my selfmade syrups and cordials in the fridge or is there another way of preserving them besides adding a bit of neutral alcohol? thank you very much and keep up the great videos in 2019!

Always keep them in the fridge and you can add a little vodka .5oz (15ml) or so to each syrup to extend shelf life a little longer.
