To make the Bitter Lime cocktail, you'll need a few simple ingredients and a cocktail shaker. Start by juicing fresh limes to get that vibrant citrus flavor.

To balance out the bitterness, sweeten the cocktail with a touch of simple syrup or agave nectar.
Once you have all the ingredients ready, it's time to shake things up. Fill your cocktail shaker with ice, then add the lime juice, Campari, and simple syrup or agave nectar. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill the drink and mix all the ingredients together.
To serve the Bitter Lime cocktail, strain it into a chilled glass filled with ice. Garnish with a lime wheel or a sprig of fresh mint for an extra touch of freshness. Sip and enjoy the bright and refreshing flavors of this delicious cocktail.
The Bitter Lime cocktail is a versatile drink that can be customized to suit your taste preferences. If you prefer your drinks sweeter, add more simple syrup or agave nectar. For a stronger bitter flavor, increase the amount of Campari. Experiment with different garnishes and make it your own.
So, the next time you're in need of a crowd-pleasing cocktail, try the Bitter Lime. Its zesty lime flavor and balanced bitterness will have your guests coming back for more. Cheers!
