Roses Lime Cordial Recipe (Vegan, Gluten Free, 3 Ingredients)

This Homemade Rose’s Lime Cordial is great for making cocktails at home! 3 easy ingredients will jazz up any cocktail, margarita, or gin gimlet.

I love making gin gimlets, they are my go-to cocktail to make for parties, summer BBQs, or just for myself on a Friday night.  The classic ingredients are gin, Rose’s Lime Cordial Syrup… thats all! I like to top mine with a little seltzer for some bubbles, but its great with or without it.

This DIY Homemade Rose’s Lime Cordial Syrup is:

  • Sweet
  • Tart
  • Tangy
  • Bright
  • Citrusy
  • Made with 3 Ingredients
  • Great for gin gimlets, margaritas, or any cocktail with simple syrup.

A few years ago there was a nation-wide shortage of Rose’s Lime!  I remember being in Wisconsin for the 4th of July and unable to find any… and that lasted all summer.  Making your own is incredibly easy and only takes a few ingredients.  Never be without Rose’s lime cordial syrup again!

What Equipment Do I Need?

  • Vitamix or high-speed blender
  • Colander or fine mesh strainer, or a nut milk bag
  • Mason jar to store the syrup

Another benefit to making your own homemade Roses Lime Cordial is you can skip all the artificial ingredients in the real stuff: especially the corn syrup.  I have a good friend who is allergic to corn syrup, but loves my gimlets.  So this DIY version is made with just plain sugar, water, and a lime.  Nothing artificial here.

So What’s In This Homemade Lime Simple Syrup?

  • Sugar
  • Water
  • A whole lime, peel and all.

That’s it!  By blending all the ingredients together in a blender, you can DIY your own lime cordial syrup in a few minutes.  No trip to the store required!

Cocktails that Use Roses Lime Cordial:

Or use it in any recipe that calls for fresh lime juice – the flavor is absolutely perfect!

    I liked the idea of blending the fruit but didn’t find the proportions quite right. I adjusted to use 2 limes (quartered) plus the juice of one additional lime with only 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup warm water. This came pretty close to the taste of the Roses that I had on hand (but better!). It made about 1 cup of final product. My limes were perhaps on the small side but pretty typical for what’s available in grocery.

    It just wasn’t quite there. I live in the country and finding the good things in life isn’t always possible. The store had bars it lime juice and by mixing your recipe and that, it was pretty close. Thanks for your recipe.
