What is Cool Lime?

Cool Lime is a chilled, lime-forward drink, commonly served with ice and fresh mint. Café versions are designed as refreshing citrus drinks; the exact ingredients can vary, but lime flavour is the defining note. Its pale colour and clean, tangy taste make it an easy alternative to a heavier or creamy drink.

It is often enjoyed cold on its own, especially in warm weather, or alongside a light meal. In the UK, North America and elsewhere, it fits naturally among iced café drinks and summer refreshments. It is low in fat and protein, with most of its energy coming from carbohydrates: about 27 calories and 6.7 g of carbs per 100 g. If you prefer a less sweet drink, ask whether it can be made with less sweetener.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cool Lime

What is Cool Lime?

Cool Lime is a chilled lime-and-mint drink, usually served over ice. Café versions may use a prepared base or include ingredients such as green coffee extract, while homemade recipes are often mixed from lime, mint, water, and a sweetener.

Does Cool Lime have caffeine?

Some versions do. Starbucks Cool Lime Refresha has used green coffee extract, which contains caffeine; a homemade mix of lime, mint, water, and sweetener is caffeine-free. Check which version you’re ordering if you avoid caffeine.

What is in a Cool Lime drink?

A typical Cool Lime combines lime, mint, water, a sweetener, and ice. The exact ingredients vary between cafés and homemade recipes, and some café versions use a prepared base or add green coffee extract.

How do you make Cool Lime at home?

To make Cool Lime at home, mix lime juice with water and your preferred sweetener, then add lightly crushed mint and plenty of ice. Avoid crushing the mint too hard, since it can make the drink taste bitter.

Is Cool Lime the same as Starbucks Cool Lime Refresha?

Not necessarily. Cool Lime can mean any lime-and-mint drink, while Starbucks Cool Lime Refresha is a branded café version with its own recipe. Its ingredients can differ from a simple homemade lime, mint, and water mix.

What does Cool Lime taste like?

Cool Lime tastes tart and citrusy, with a fresh mint aroma and a sweet finish in versions that contain added sweetener. The balance varies by recipe; adding more lime makes it sharper, while extra sweetener softens the tartness.

What is the difference between Cool Lime and a mojito?

Cool Lime is generally a nonalcoholic lime-and-mint refresher. A traditional mojito contains white rum and soda water, though alcohol-free mojitos exist. The recipes overlap in lime and mint, but the drink base and preparation can differ.

Does Cool Lime contain a lot of sugar?

Cool Lime can contain added sugar, especially when made with a café syrup or sweetened base. The amount varies by recipe; ask how it is sweetened or make it at home with less sweetener for a less-sweet drink.

How long does homemade Cool Lime last in the fridge?

Homemade Cool Lime is best enjoyed the day it is made. If you need to keep it, refrigerate it in a covered container and add the ice just before serving; lime slices and mint can lose their fresh flavor as they sit.

Can Cool Lime keep you awake at night?

A caffeine-containing Cool Lime may affect sleep if you are sensitive to caffeine, because some café versions use green coffee extract. A homemade version made without caffeinated ingredients is a better choice near bedtime.
