Lemon Lime Soda

Keep refrigerated after opening to maintain carbonation. Unopened cans/bottles can be stored at room temperature for a long time, but flavor is best when consumed before the best-by date.

Use chilled lemon lime soda for a quick and easy mocktail base.

The sweetness and carbonation can be a great way to tenderize meats in marinades.

A splash can add brightness to fruit salads or glazes.

Citrus fruits (lemons, limes, oranges)

Berries

Mint

Vodka

White Rum

Tequila

Over-reliance on it as a sole flavor for complex dishes; it's best used as a supporting element.

Adding it too early in cooking processes where carbonation is desired, as it will dissipate with heat.
