I must know where the glasses came from in the Salty Dog cocktail picture! They are adorable!

Sources on the proportions vary, but I used a 5:2 ratio (juice to gin) and was pleased with the result: http://www.ginjourney.co.uk/gin-recipes/salty-dog/

I will have to try the Lemon Drop now, sounds like a booze-based version of the sweets.

It’s great in desserts

and even better in savoury things

I wasn’t sure if they should be cut open (like preserving lemons) so I went searching and found this Indian recipe:

Ingredients

* Green lime- 6 to 8
* Salt- 100 gms

Rub green lime onto a stone slab with some water, to make the upper skin soft. Now wash and dry it with a cloth. In a clean transparent glass vessel (with lead), pour some salt, then put all the lime without cutting it. Pour remaining salt. Squeeze one lime into the mixture. Cover with a cloth and leave it under sun for a month or so (mix once a while). Lovely, lime salt pickle is ready.

Does that sound right?

This amazing post is perfuming my room of beautiful citrus scents from your fabulous pics! I love everyone of your favorites. My fav is a Salty Chihuahua cocktail (tequila, grapefruit juice, salted rim), woof woof!

We’re adding 4 more new citrus trees to the garden next week, come over anytime and pick your heart out!

I can’t see why every kitchen doesn’t have one of those.
