Why Key Lime Margarita Is The Best Kind Of Margaritas?

The answer is easy because it is made using key limes! And I have some juicy info for you about why Key limes are the ultimate choice for making margaritas! Here’s why-

• The first thing that separates them in taste is their intensity of flavor. Key limes have a flavor profile that’s hard to beat – it’s zesty, tangy, and packs a punch that regular limes just can’t match. So if you want a margarita that’s bursting with flavor, you need Key limes in your life!

• Another thing you might not realize is they’re the OG lime for margaritas. Did you know that Key limes were the original lime used in margaritas? Yup, that’s right – before regular limes took over, Key limes were the star of the show. So using them in your margarita is a nod to the traditional recipe and adds a touch of authenticity to your drink.

• Lastly, they’re small but mighty. Key limes are small, but they pack a powerful punch. They contain more acidity than conventional limes, so they can stick up to the powerful flavors of tequila and triple sec. Also, their small size makes them easier to juice and adds a fun element of “cute factor” to your drink.

Can I safely say your refrigerator is going to have a booked space for key limes? I think I can.
