Advantages: Deliciously tangy, perfect for use in lager

Disadvantages: ----------

I'm not a fan of alcohol but during the summer months do enjoy a nice lager & lime in the garden as I find it a very refreshing drink. Obviously, 2009 ended up being the summer than never was for many of us but I still found plenty of occasions to enjoy this delicious Rose's Lime Cordial thanks to a variety of family parties and barbecues.

There are a number of lime cordials on the market at the moment, but this Rose's one is certainly the best in my opinion and the only one which actually tastes of lime rather than the chemically made lime that most manufacturers seem to sell.

This cordial has such a strong flavour that you really only need a very small amount in whatever drink you're adding it to. I often add a little to ice cold water for an extremely refreshing soft drink which has just the right level of tanginess and citrus flavour, or if you find the idea of lime cordial a little too zingy for your taste buds then try a dash in a glass of lemonade which sweetens the drink beautifully and makes it a little easier to drink if you are not a fan of tangy drinks.

When it comes to replicating a lager & lime from the pub you have to use Rose's cordial, none of the others come even close. Recently when my local shop had run out of Rose's I bought a bottle of that awful cheap Jucee Lime and it was appalling, admittedly it had a fairly good lime flavour but the taste of chemicals completely overwhelmed this and it didn't taste half as good when added to lager as this Rose's does.

I think it's the fact that Rose's Lime Cordial tastes so fresh, whereas most squashes (especially the more tangy flavours) taste slightly stale to me and even when the aroma seems rounded the flavour can be somewhat lacking once water or whatever mixer you're using has been added to the cordial.

Because you need only to use a very small amount of this a bottle will last you for quite a while, even using it to make a glass of squash each morning my current bottle has lasted me for well over three weeks. It might be one of the most expensive lime cordials on the market but the quality and fact that it will last just about forever make it the most cost effective in my opinion and this is one product that I won't be changing for sometime to come.

Summary: A deliciously refreshing lime cordial.
