COCKTAIL ZERO% BAR MANUAL ALEMBIC FRUITS & VEGETABLES 5. LIME SLICE A half moon shaped slice of lime. Limes are more sour than lemons and more acidic. The technique here is the same as for a lemon. Cut the top and bottom off the lime. Cut in half lengthways then cut across the lime to create 5mm thick lime slices. 6. LIME WEDGE This is my garnish of choice in a beautiful, simple gin and tonic. Top and tail a lime. Cut in half lengthways, now slice each half lengthways again so that you have 6 pieces in total. 7. LIME WHEEL Cut the end off the lime, then repeatedly cut across the fruit to create circles of the desired thickness. The Wheel is a great tool for presentation as well as adding flavour. 8. LIME TWIST (OR ZEST OR PEEL) As in the “lemon twist” use a sharp knife or peeler to lift an oblong strip of the green peel, being careful to take as little of the bitter, white pith. Avoid exposing the flesh. That’s some of the best advice I can give you. 9. ORANGE SLICE Although they are not the only fruit, oranges are a great addition to create a burst of lightness and sweetness to complement weightier flavours. FRUITS & VEGETABLES INGREDIENTS
