I believe this is an essential ingredient in a Mojito cocktail.
Anyone know where I can get some?

So now where are you going to find limes
(Lime juice is available in Supermarkets but as far as I know the fruit itself , needed for the slice, is not available here)

Andrew : I bought some(Rose's) a month or two back from either Supreme or Erdener (sorry cant remember which , I tend to use both). I used to get it from the old Tempos in Girne, and I think I saw it in the new one the other day.

Sorry you are quite right Andrew , it was cordial - I drink it with soda, but a few drops also improves a Brandy Sour. No, I have never seen the juice - wonder why one cant get limes here when other citrus fruit thrive.
