- Zest the limes before juicing them: This will help release the essential oils from the limes and give your lime delight a more intense flavor.
- Use fresh lime juice: Bottled lime juice can be used in a pinch, but fresh lime juice will always give you the best flavor.
- Chill the ingredients before assembling the lime delight: This will help the lime delight set up more quickly and give it a more refreshing taste.
- Serve the lime delight chilled: Lime delight is best served cold, so make sure to chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
