I’ve been seeing billboards around town for the new Captain Morgan Lime Bite alcohol. I didn’t know what it was…I assumed it was like a hard limeade, similar to Mikes. However, seeing how Captain Morgan is my liquor of choice, I knew I wanted to try it. So when Shell and I went to Salsa Latina tonight (the best Mexican restaurant ever) and there was an ad for Lime Bite on the table, I had to give in. I ordered one, and the waiter asked which beer I wanted it to go with. Eventually I realized that it was a lime-flavored liquor, and I decided to try a shot of it in my Tecate.
It was really good…so good in fact that I am planning to pick up a bottle of it soon. It adds a nice lime flavor to the beer, and is successful in eliminating some of the “bite” of the beer. Shell, who normally hates my Tecate, actually took two sips because she couldn’t believe how good it is. I’m not sure how it would go with all beers, particularly Sam Adams, but with the Mexican beers like Tecate and Corona, I can see it blending together very well for a great, smooth taste.
While it was great in my beer, I would love to try it in other stuff, particularly a lemon-lime soda like Sprite and Sierra Mist…and maybe even in ginger ale. The ads also have other recommendations for it, such as adding it to juice and other mixed drinks. Being the Captain Morgan fan that I am, I will be willing to part with the spiced rum from time to time to have some Lime Bite instead.

There’s a really good Mexican beer drink with lime nd hot sauce- I forget what it’s called. That’s good too. This was samrt marketing for them, esp. w/ bud light lime
