To create a classic cocktail, combine this lime mixer with your preferred spirit, such as tequila or rum, in a shaker filled with ice. Shake well until thoroughly chilled, then strain into a salt-rimmed glass filled with fresh ice. For a simpler beverage, you can also top it with sparkling water or club soda for a refreshing, alcohol-free option. It can also be used in small amounts to add a citrusy note to marinades or glazes for poultry and seafood.
