I'm looking to make something along the lines of a Raspberry Lime Rickey but in mead form. I got a good base recipe for the raspberry mead but I am having trouble finding a good way to add the lime. The biggest problem other people seem to be running into is the citric acid coming from the limes. Is that an actual problem for mead?
I was just going to squeeze a couple limes into the carboy and rack the mead on top of that and the raspberries. I don't think zesting alone will give me the flavor that I want. Any thoughts about Simply Limeade or Rose's Lime Juice?
Just for reference I am doing a 1gallon batch with 3 pounds of Blueberry Honey, a pound of Frozen Raspberries and Côte des Blancs yeast.
