The first recorded citrus orchard in California dates to 1804 at the San Gabriel Mission, east of Los Angeles. Lisbon, Eureka, and Meyer lemons are the most popular varieties in California now. Here in the Bay Area, citrus trees grow particularly well in warmer microclimates, such as those found in the East Bay. If you are lucky enough to have a Rangpur lime tree (actually a sour mandarin), it makes a flavorful and beautifully-hued beverage.
And what’s more summery than a citrus-based cocktail? Bring out the Bacardí Lime-Flavored Rum, lemonade, and soda when you’re hanging out with friends.
