Lime juice is a sharp, aromatic citrus liquid used in marinades, cocktails, dressings, and tropical baking. It activates baking soda, balances rich foods like avocado and coconut, and brings the floral edge that lemon juice does not. One metric cup (250 ml) holds 248 g (8.75 oz).

Lime juice is a touch more acidic than lemon juice, so getting the amount right matters in chemistry-driven recipes like quick breads and curds. Measuring by weight rather than volume keeps marinades, cocktail syrups, and ceviche consistent across batches.

Lemon juice is milder and a touch sweeter than lime juice. They are close in weight (255 g vs 248 g per cup), so swap 1:1 in dressings, marinades, and curd; expect a less floral, more rounded result. See lemon juice in US cups.

White vinegar is sharper and more concentrated than lime juice. Use roughly half the amount of white vinegar when subbing for chemical leavening, and expect a neutral flavour with no citrus character. See white vinegar in US cups.
