Danielle Hatfield's Key Lime TiniMany people think of pies when you mention a recipe with Key Lime as the main ingredient. . . well, I’m here to change your thinking!

This fun and fresh recipe is perfect for cooling down on hot summer nights and adding a little spunk to your backyard parties!

Chef'n® FreshForceTM Lime Citrus Juicer from Sur la Table is amazing!juicing a key lime is like milking a gnatI have to warn you that juicing key limes the old fashioned way is a bit like trying to milk a gnat, but the pay off is well worth it.

I would highly recommend purchasing a Chef’n FreshForce Lime Citrus Juicer from Sur la Table trust me . . . you’ll be grateful you did!

 

This recipe requires two others; simple syrup and key lime infused vodka.

Let’s start with the Simple Syrup:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water

Directions:

  • Bring water to a rolling boil and add sugar.
  • Mix until sugar is completely dissolved and remove from heat.
  • Set aside and let cool.
  • Once mixture is cool, store in glass bottle in the refrigerator.

This process takes the most time. With citrus flavors like the key lime the infusion process takes from a few days up to a week.

Ingredients :

  • glass jar
  • vodka
  • key limes

Directions :

  • Cut key limes into thin slices, removing the seeds
  • Place key limes in glass jar (depending on how much you intend to make is up to how big your jar is!)
  • Cover key limes with vodka and seal jar.
  • Wrap jar in cloth and store at room temperature (I put mine in the garage which stays somewhat cool)
  • After 3-7 days remove lime slices and pour infused vodka into recycled wine bottle. Top with a cork and keep refrigerated.
