Badia Lime Juice 128 oz

A gallon jug of bottled lime juice is the kind of thing you only buy once you've stopped pretending fresh limes will always be on the counter when the mojo needs to come together.

Badia's 128 oz lime juice is shelf-stable, consistent in acidity, and ready to pour — the practical workhorse for households that cook with citrus daily and bartend on the weekends. Bright, sour, no sweetener, no added flavor.

Common Uses: mojo criollo for yuca and lechón, marinades for vaca frita and bistec de palomilla, finishing acid for camarones al ajillo, base for mojitos and daiquiris, and the squeeze of brightness that finishes a bowl of sopa de pollo.

Pantry Role: acid/brightness, brine/marinade base.

Cultural Context: Cuban cooking leans on sour orange and lime in a way most American kitchens don't — the acid is structural, not a garnish. A gallon of lime juice in the fridge is how diaspora cooks compensate for the fact that naranja agria isn't always at the corner store, and that a proper mojo for Noche Buena lechón takes more citrus than a bag of limes will ever yield.

Pairs With: Badia naranja agria, fresh garlic, comino, olive oil, white rum, and demerara sugar.

Ships nationwide to Cuban-American households who go through citrus faster than the grocery store can keep up.
