Lime 🍋‍🟩
Copy & Meaning

A lime — the sharper, more tropically-associated citrus cousin of the lemon, essential to an entirely different set of cuisines and cocktails. Limes are indispensable in Mexican cooking (squeeze on tacos, always), Caribbean cuisine, Thai food, and the cocktail world — mojitos, margaritas, and gin and tonics all depend on that specific sharp, green citrus note.

"Lime in the coconut and everything is better 🍋‍🟩" captures their tropical association. Added in 2023 as a distinct emoji from lemon, this serves recipe content involving limes specifically, cocktail culture, Mexican and Thai food discussions, and tropical cuisine appreciation.
