Advantages: Taste tangy.

Disadvantages: Too much gives you a headache!

I came across Rose's Lime Cordial when I developed a bit of a soft sport for the alcoholic drink Cubans, which is a mixture of coke, spiced rum and lime cordial. This lime cordial was recommended to me by a friend.

I had never tried any cordials before as I had an image in my head that they were for stuffy old people, but I have now learnt I was very wrong.

Rose's Lime Cordial comes in a clear bottle with a green label on. I have to say that the packaging appears quite old fashioned, which probably has supported my beliefs so far that it is a drink for the older generation.

The cordial tastes delicious in a cuban, it adds some zesty twang and really livens it up. One thing I have found is that I have to minimise how much I add to my drink if I am drinking a few drinks in a night otherwise I end up really dehydrated and with a headache from the too sweet concentrated taste.

Since buying the bottle for my cubans I have also tried it with water, in place of squash. You only have to add a little bit, much less than you would add of squash. It is a really zingy refreshing drink that tastes great and summery. I would recommend this if the lime taste is for you. One bottle lasts ages!

Summary: Makes a nice change.
