Delicious DIY Lime Cordial Recipe

- Rose's Lime Juice / Cordial was created in 1867 and was the world's first fruit concentrate. It was the accessible and necessary sweet fruit preserve of choice by sailors to take their daily dose of vitamin C to fight off scurvy. The Rose's brand isn't readily available in some countries, this DIY Lime Cordial recipe is an excellent substitute and a crucial ingredient in a Gimlet. The Gimlet was featured in Harry Craddock's The Savoy Cocktail Book in 1930.

This is a BANGING lime cordial recipe - make sure you try it with a gimlet or a grog (with rum). I actually used a little less lime zest than the recipe (by mistake), using 30mL by volume instead of 45mL. It works either way but best to add that little bit more zest. Adjusted volume/weight is in the description.

Oh if its was tasty right after being made in a week it will be near perfect!
Great recipe Steve, gonna need to try this out. You should check out an oleo saccharum to kick it up a notch. Zest your limes into the sugar you'll use to make the simple syrup and let them sit for a day. The sugar pulls out all the oils, then you can dump that in the sauce pan to make your simple syrup, let that cool and add your lime juice. Typically an oleo saccharum is used in punches but I think they work well in juices or cordials. Can't wait to see the next one!
I never blended zest for my cordial before. I always cold infused it instead. I'm quite curious actually. Will give it a try no doubt. Cheers!
Jason Longster thanks Jason, yep I’m familiar with oleo.. this is a nice quick recipe though :-)
Truffles On The Rocks it’s a recipe from Jeffrey Morgenthaler - he loves a good shortcut!
"might as well make a gimlet..." I like the way you think!
Haha, never a bad time for gimlets!
The strainer catch was insanely dynamic absolutely adored it
Yes! Now that is a proper Gimlet. That cordial is absolutely amazing stuff.
This recepies are gold, thank you! I'm impatient for the grenadine recepie!
Cheeres :)
Wow, thanks so much for the recipe, I've been looking for something really well explained for ages and now found it)
i love that you've started tasting the drinks, a great addition!
Thanks! I’ve been doing it for at least the last 100 videos now :-)
Great, thanks so much. Made a batch identical to yours this morning. Can't wait to have it with a gimlet tonight! The missus told me we couldn't try it at 1145am when I finished making it. Greetings from the States.
Wow this looks good! I love how there are so many simple recipes to turn basic syrups into something far beyond what it started as
Definitely worth trying.. if you prefer rum then sub the gin :-)
I’ve made this about 5 times now... best gimlet ever! Never go back to the green stuff from Roses. Even make a Sloe gin / Rickey version with 3/4 oz of Sloe Gin, 1 1/4 oz of London dry, 3/4 oz of Lime cordial with an extra squeeze of fresh lime juice and top with soda.
This excellent- thank you!
Once I see roses anything in a cocktail recipe I automatically use fresh lime juice but I've got to try this
I've watched a few of videos on this, and this one was immediately my favourite because you actually pronounced "cordial" properly (i.e. not cor-jawl).
I made some amazing grapefruit cordial using a similar method but I made the base an oleo saccharum. The most intense grapefruit flavour. I might have to make some cordial tomorrow. The days are heating up and a bit of this and some soda is perfect after the Saturday morning chores.
Heck yes! I go through a lot of grapefruit lately so I’ll have to make some GF cordial too.. starting with an oleo is a great idea!
Great video. I really like your how to videos.
Thanks mate! You should have seen the messy footage before I edited, haha!
@@StevetheBartender_ You did a really good job on it!
36,000 more subscribers until the next shooter video. I NEED IT.
tell your friends, share it on facebook, instagram, local billboards!!
I’m scared 😧
@@StevetheBartender_ Man up! Let's have a poll on Patreon for some early ideas! :D
Kurt Mifsud Bonnici haha, don’t worry, I’ll be fine 😆 yep, will definitely get people involved for suggestions 👌
SENSEI , EXCELLENT
Speaking of Truffles on the Rocks, he made DIY Green Chartreuse! Blast those lazy monks.
When I saw that Rose's Lime juice (made from concentrate!) costs $6 per 12oz bottle...I decided to try your recipe. No comparison!!! I'll NEVER buy/use Rose's again...Thanx Steve, for upping my appreciation of citrus mixes with my spirits!
It works a treat hey!! And it’s soooo easy :-)
Will definitely give this a try, I didn’t realize Rose’s had been around since 1867!
Yeah, looong time! 👍
Oye! Another round of Gimlets mate!!👊👍😉
I live in Turkey and I can't find some ingredients easily like this juice. Thanks Steve!
Most welcome! Hope you enjoy 😁
Nice trick with the strainer!! Very impressive 😆 (you forgot it didn't you?) I like these videos, with you making some of the ingredients
Yep, I did a Leandro! 😆
Not the greatest fan of lime based drinks but this one sounds like something refreshing to drink on a hot day over summer 🤔🍹
It is quite tangy so if you don’t like lime then this might not be for you... perhaps adjust the acid to suit..
Made this today and loved it. Too bad I didn't get to use it in a drink yet.
5:02 Nice catch!
When i measured the citric acid i got that 30 mL weighed almost twice as much as the 17g you got (32g). I wonder if it depends on the particle size of the crystals? I ended up adding 17 grams and when the infusion is done i’m gonna use two bottles and add more citric to one of them and compare 😊.
That was a sweet catch . Thank you for the recipe. Did you ever make one on Grenadine. Thanks again, keep on smiling.
Thanks Abigail - only took 3-4 takes! Nah, didn’t end up uploading because my footage was ruined by bad audio :-(
Anyone got some examples for what cocktails you can use this for? (other than the gimlet)
Hi can I use this recipe to make a margarita mix or their's other way to make it ?
Hey man.... Keep on smiling.... Like you smiling 😍😍
Can I use this instead of lime cordial for a cement mixer??
Drinking Bourbon, learning to make cordial for a gin based drink and ordering citric acid. Not sure that is what I was thinking I would be doing later in the day when I woke up this morning. 😂
Haha, seems suss ordering acid hey! Maybe the grog will be more your style (rum)?
@@StevetheBartender_ well you now have 500ml of cordial I may need a refresher on the grog.
I love this video and i love a gin gimlet
Give it a try Aiden - it’s super tangy and delicious! Could be used with soda for a non-alcoholic option too..
@@StevetheBartender_ i will need to make this on the weekend if i get free time
If I want to make it into a juice how much water will it needed to add into that lime cordial.
He knows we came for the smile. Mate you should bartender cater for private parties.
Lol, that’s what I have done for the past 5+ years :-)
@@StevetheBartender_ I was pretty sure I used to go past your van on my way to early shift a t the RAH. Glad to see a local lad doing so well.
On ANZAC? Yep! That was me! 😁 thanks Gary!
Behind every successful Bartender is a camera women with a strainer😊 teamwork at its finest
It took about 3-4 takes as I kept catching it upside down (but don’t tell anyone!)..
Can you make a 🍓 mocktail
If you dont have a blender. Then what do you do instead?
Could we get a link to where you bought your juicer please.
Sure can! Here it is and I’d jump on it quick as it’s really cheap, looks like about 50% off (it’s normally $19.95 in Australia): amzn.to/2zZQ2qM
Wonder if it would be tasty in a margarita?
That's actually a normal size cheese grater, he's just that gigantic.
😂
Steve I work with a mobile bar service, natural lemon juice oxidizes after a while, could I add citric acid to preserve it for the 5 hours of the event? or what would you recommend?
I wouldn’t add citric acid as it would make it far too acidic… use it same day and it will be fine 👍
Where do you get your swingtop bottles steve? I'm having trouble finding anything smaller than 750ml, just too big for the home cocktail setup!
It’s from a place called Gala Imports (in Australia)..
@@StevetheBartender_ legend man, cheers.
@@jamesrobinson46 No worries!
What if I'll make the same, but with lemons? 🤔
Omg 🤤
Can you do a grenadine recipe?
For a moment when Steve picked up the knife and the juicer I thought he was gonna try cutting the juicer.
with the stuff you put in tht, it has to be good
Good day mate! Steve how easily available is commercial Rose’s lime juice in AU ?
Not sure if there is a distributor for bars to get... can’t say I’ve ever seen it in a bar. There are a couple websites that sell it in Australia..
@@StevetheBartender_
Dime a dozen here in usa but you guys always tell us to use fresh lime juice so I never buy this crap
angel_wings yes, still use fresh lime juice for other cocktails.. it’s only a Gimlet or a Grog that this cordial is specifically called for..
Do you need the citric acid? Would the lime be citric enough?
Apparently limes have 1.4g of citric acid per 30mL (1 ounce) - so its the equivalent of about 12 limes citric acid content. Citrix acid should be pretty cheap and easy to get a hold of as it’s a common ingredient in baking..
Just need some baileys and we're golden
How long would something like this keep in the refrigerator?
A long time.. it has sugar and citric acid which will preserve it.
@@StevetheBartender_ cheers! Love the channel!
BEARD, ITS COMING BACK 🧔
Give it another few weeks ;)
I didn't know Joe Ingles also makes cocktails!
Like the video! What is that background noise though?
Not sure... at what time in the video?
@@StevetheBartender_ theres a high pitch buzzing sound. Notice it more around the 4 minute mark. Might just be the background track now that I listened to it again!
Anyways, keep up the great content!
I think it’s the fridge in the background humming away! It’s pretty noisy! 😁
That is A LOT of citric acid. That shit is strong as fuck!
So strange to see acid (in powder form) and zest in volumen in a recipe haha.
250 of water and 250 of water makes 400¿? I'm confused
Measured by weight rather than volume... 250g of water + 250g of sugar = 400 mL of dissolved liquid. The sugar isn’t as volume dense as the water.
Steve do you have any videos on how to make margaritas?
Sure do! Here’s a few:
- classic margarita th-cam.com/video/XhXgmkP1r3c/w-d-xo.html
- strawberry sage margarita th-cam.com/video/RMz9pKrOW4k/w-d-xo.html
- 5 x easy margaritas th-cam.com/video/W-5Op3HHgfI/w-d-xo.html
No one knows have long it last in fridge.... It's long gone before it goes bad...
Exactly. Although sugar and citric acid will give it a good life..
Love your channel and sorry keyboard warriors have found you as well. Please made videos as you did and like to do.
Btw can you confirm I successfully subbed to patreon. I am not sure I did it correctly
Hey angel-wings! Today? What name would it be under..?
@@StevetheBartender_
Turns out patreon sent me verification email that I didn't check in time and it expired. No worries I'll try again. It'll be under my you tube name. Look for it over next 24 hrs. Keep up good work Stevo!
@@Dee_Cee227 You're a legend! Thanks for the support =)
Noga
Appreciate the effort , but too much like hard yakka for me!
Lol, pretty easy :-)
Surprised the recipe didn’t call for any malic acid.
That would make a lot of sense 👍
Typing. ........
Really? Only 1.5 limes? I use an entire lime in my own cocktails. ..
Paul Collegio, forgive me if I’m wrong but perhaps it maybe because he did add in citric acid in there. Which citric acid itself it’s pretty sour tasting this reducing the amount a lime he need.
You'll get more juice out of your limes if you put them in a microwave for 20-30 seconds before squeezing them. Hic!
Sweet! Thanks for the tip 👌
@@StevetheBartender_ You're welcome.
A Gimlet should be 75ml gin, 15ml lime and 15ml simple lol.
Says who? >_
The original recipe was actually equal parts gin and lime cordial...lol
Ok Steve I really love you but your Mise en Place gives me headaches
Lol, just this video or always?? 😆 i didn’t want to have the lime zested, juiced and everything pre measured otherwise it would have been a 30 second video!
@@StevetheBartender_ Just this ones, normally its actually really nice
