How to Cut Lime Wedges Like a Bartender

Forget the slap chop, I shared a chef’s secret for super fast and safe chopping a few days ago.

Now I want share a bartender’s secret for making lime wedges — check out the video. If you can’t view the video, read the description below.

Cut lime wedges

1. Cut a lime in half along its longest side.
2. Cut a slit on the inside of each half. It should be perpendicular to the direction you cut the lime in half and deep enough to release the lime juice without piercing through the skin from the inside.
3. Place the half lime flat side down and cut 3 or 4 wedges perpendicular to the slit you made.
4. Place the wedge on the rim of a glass so the rim fits into the slit in the wedge.
5. Voila.
