lime Cordial

[mirage]

I can't find lime cordial anywhere on-line. Has anyone tried to make lime cordial from a bottle of lime juice. It looks like you just need to add sugar and water. It would be nice to have a shot of lime cordial in a beer occasionally.

Varieties on a similar theme that be worth a try ?

Yes that was what I was thinking of buying, but need to transform in a cordial. Looking on the web, it seems cordial has a lot of sugar and more water. I wondered if anybody has tried before, and if so how much sugar and water to add.

I'm not sure it is a lime cordial but you can find bottles of sweet lime (real or artificial?) in almost any liquor department in the supermarkets.  An Irish friend used to use it all the time in his beer and seemed happy with it.

3kg of limes is 100 Baht here on Samui. Smash them then boil in 7l of water and add 1kg of sugar late on. Easy stuff and you know what is in it.

There's a couple of different brands available on Lazada.

Yes you can buy lime cordial very easily.

Most Super Cheap stores keep it and also most drinks warehouses that supply bars etc.

Don't use the sweet stuff intended for syrupy ice drinks, it's far too sickly sweet other drinks e.g. a gimlet.

I've not found one that is as good as Rose's Lime Cordial yet.

[brommers]

Bickfords an Australian brand is pretty close to Rose's and is available in Food Hall which in my case is in Central Festival, Chiang Mai. 

[moogradod]

The original Rose's Lime Juice (Cordial) is available at Villa Supermarket Pattaya.

The reason I am looking for it on-line is because I am in That Phanom, very much non tourist area. When I am in Krabi there is a shop in Krabi town that sells it 70 Baht a bottle. Unfortunately this year we did not travel to Krabi. Roses at Lazada ( out of stock ) at 380 Baht a bottle is priced a bit over the top.

Lime juice is available here, I was just trying to find out if it would become like a cordial by adding sugar and water. Has anybody tried that ?.

If you are anywhere near a Macro they certainly have it 

[mirage]

Not at Macro in Nakom Phanom. If you can send me a photo of the bottle preferably with the bar code I can get the Macro here to order some.

Jumbo lime juice cordial made in Thailand. Not as tart as Roses but does the trick

Just Google Lime Cordial. Problem solved.

Don't just add sugar, you need to make a syrup (boil water add sugar and melt.)  I have managed to grow a lemon tree which this year has so many lemons, i have juiced them and made lemon-ice cubes, next time i have gin n tonic i'll just pop one in (4 cubes per lemon.) with the lime you could pop one into hot water with adjusted to taste sugar, cool and then add to whatever. enjoy. sugar preserves the juice. ????
