Damn $10 a bottle might just let my body slowly die. 😂

@@MrMoney331 lol! It ain’t cheap but if you never wish you could pay ten bucks to feel different after a night with a little too much drinking that means you are a beast

This is a nice idea! I may try it the next time I get limes in (what I've been doing recently is cutting them into slices and storing them in the freezer wrapped in baking paper and they're lovely to just slide into drinks)

[@likeablecocktails]

LOVE black limes, lemons, oranges… any citrus really 😆 the aromatics are insane and they also works great in salad dressings and fish marinades.

[@ГригорийБандурин]

Thanks for the video. How you make Orange bitter? Can you share the recipe?

[@carl_busch]

Never heard of this and sounds amazing! I am putting on a strawberry black peppercorn daquiri on my menu and this will be a great garnish over top. Thanks buddy.

[@TrufflesOnTheRocks]

Dude that sounds AMAZING! I want to see pictures of the first one you make :) Cheers!

[@carl_busch]

@@TrufflesOnTheRocks Will do!! Cheers

[@rzasha]

This is awesome! Iranians always have “Leemoo Amani” stocked in the pantry, and I’ve always wondered how to add it to a cocktail. The tea idea is spot on too, my grandma always kept a dried lime in her sugar jar, added a lovely scent to tea :)

[@TrufflesOnTheRocks]

See, I didn't invent anything here. Your grandma got game :) Cheers!

[@FPoP1911]

@@TrufflesOnTheRocks try it with borage tea for the ultimate iranian experience of gol gav zaban and maybe even a cocktail around the borage and dried lime drink we got here.

[@ahmetelbir]

A great way to upcycle limes! Thank you very much!! Will definitely try :))

[@brightvalve]

Will try this. You offered some great ideas for use in cocktails. Thank you

[@TrufflesOnTheRocks]

My pleasure :) Cheers!

[@bob___]

This is great. I always have a few limes around, and sometimes they get past the point where I can use them. On the other hand, I hate to waste food. This is a great option.

[@TrufflesOnTheRocks]

Thanks Bob! I’m really glad this might help you reduce your lime waste. Cheers

[@knifeymcdont]

I love Persian black limes in cooking, now I'll try them in cocktails!

[@mitlmelgarejogonzalez]

Amazing! I learned something new today! Just a couple of questions: 1. Approximately how long does it take in the oven to achieve the consistency you mention? 2. Where do I store the loomis? Do they need to be refrigerated? Or in a tight container outside the fridge? Thanks and greetings from Mexico. 👍🏻

[@dizturb5062]

Outside the fridge because of the humidity. Keep them in a container

[@mitlmelgarejogonzalez]

@@dizturb5062 Excellent! Thank you very much! 🫶🏻

[@joscelindenis9251]

Merci Jean-Félix. Tu produis toujours d'excellentes vidéos et celle-ci parvient quand même à se démarquer.

[@HASHEMIRAQ2]

Black lime very common in iraq and you can make an amazing tee with it

[@stockicide]

Great info! It's always nice to have options for those ingredients we forget about.

[@mtoshea1]

Not a gin fan. I'll have to try this with different types of rum, minus the egg white.

[@mihaleskovar1901]

Amazing! Can this be done with other fruits aswell? Oranges / Lemons?

[@TrufflesOnTheRocks]

Of course! It will just take much longer to dehydrate but yes of course

[@yosub1225]

you are genius

[@l.a.b7436]

Love this so much

[@christinecamley]

Brilliant Jean-Felix! This is a very special cocktail! The flavours are delicious! I have never had these dried out limes before! I am thrilled to learn what can be done with limes that aren't completely fresh! I buy too many at a time! Bad habit but I love to have limes on hand! Lemons seem more resilient. Do you find that as well, JF? I love learning and it's so fabulous to have amazing ideas of how to repurpose limes that have faded and are not fresh!! Thanks so much JF and I just love this spectacular Gin Fiz!! Hope you are well!! Cheers!!

[@TrufflesOnTheRocks]

Thanks Christine! I don't know, I feel like lemons tend to rot quite fast and then, there'S nothing to do. At least there's a way to save the limes :)

[@christinecamley]

@@TrufflesOnTheRocks Yes great point!! Limes can be saved! Love this!! Have a spectacular weekend and I hope the weather is fabulous!! Hey Jean-Felix does France have Rye distilleries? If so have you tried any French Rye? Love this amazing spicy spirit! I really enjoy LOT 40 from Canada! The U.S. has some outstanding Rye!! Cheers!!

This whole loomi thing is nothing short of life changing

[@TrufflesOnTheRocks]

Glad you see it that way. Cheers

[@edwardoapc]

@@TrufflesOnTheRocks And I mean it. More than once I bought a load os limes for a party and ended up using just a few... We kind of use some of the rest in the next few days, but they're soon yellowish and funky.

[@tompoxkosi]

C'est trop bien, j'avais entendu parler des citrons verts noirs (huhu) dans une vidéo de Middle Eats et je voulais absolument en savoir plus, et voilà une vidéo qui en plus montre comment s'en servir pour des cocktails ! Le sirop a l'air magique, je suis obligé d'en faire maintenant. Cheers !

Fantastic! Thanks for the video! Quick question - How long would you say it takes your dehydrator to turn the limes into the desired color? (Approximately)

[@TrufflesOnTheRocks]

Approx 2 days

[@johnroberts9178]

Are black limes food safe? I just ask because the health department recently told my restaurant we can no longer use candied red bell peppers for a cocktail garnish

[@TrufflesOnTheRocks]

Where the hell do you live 😂 they sell black limes in many spices Market so I assume they are but maybe not where you live 🤔

[@markberman2777]

How long should this take in the oven?

[@markberman2777]

...and, can I do this over a few days (turning oven off over night?)

[@julioriviera]

Great video jean

[@TrufflesOnTheRocks]

Thank you!!!

[@ItsMe-fs4df]

Limes are way too expensive here to buy 'too' many 🤣 But I'll usually chuck some in the freeze for later use. They're a bit squishy, and the oils from the skin are goneburgers, but they're useable... But I'm definitely doing this to one of them! At the very least, for a for a good smelling garnish on top 😁

[@The_Novice]

Awesome video !

[@TrufflesOnTheRocks]

Thank you sir!

[@jimmwagner]

Definitely going to try this. Do you have to start with a fresh lime or can you use the ones that are looking like the trolls with jaundice? Also how long is a long time?

[@TrufflesOnTheRocks]

That's the goal. To use the ugly ones instead of throwing them away. As long as you keep them in a cool and dry place in a sealed container, they can keep almost "forever"

[@nicola3540]

@@TrufflesOnTheRocks But if you get good results with withered old troll limes, surely if you used burstingly fresh and juicy limes the results would be out of this world amazing?!?

[@MrFranck3301]

For the Loomi-orange bitter, did you put orange peels in your orange bitter? If so, how much orange peel? I’m guessing peel of 1 orange

[@TrufflesOnTheRocks]

The footage in the video is with a homemade orange bitters one month from being ready so I added the loomi but if you start with a store bought bitters, just measure 200ml for 2 gr and that’s it
