Lemonade - In the US, a drink made of lemon juice, sugar and water; in the UK, a carbonated drink that doesn't necessarily contain anything closer to a lemon than a bit of citric acid. Light rum - Rums lighter in body though not necessarily in color than their dark, heavy-bodied Jamaican cousins. Light rums may be white, "silver", or golden in color. They usually hail from Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Virgin Islands. Light whiskey - American whiskey, lighter in taste and body than its conventional whiskey predecessors. It is distilled at a much higher proof (161 to 189) than traditional whiskeys and aged in reused barrels rather than in new charred barrels.

Lillet Blond (Blanc) - An aperitif wine that has subtle flavors of honey, orange, lime, and mint. Lillet Rouge - An aperitif wine that is spicy and flavored with essences of vanilla and berries. Lime juice - Squeezed from fresh limes. Lime juice is used for many cocktails to give them a refreshing taste. Although freshly squeezed limes yield the most flavorful juice, bottled juice may be substituted. Limeade - Limeade is a beverage similar to lemonade, but is made with lime juice or lime flavors instead of those of the lemon. Liqueur - An alcoholic beverage that is manufactured by adding flavorings such as strawberry, orange, or almond to a distilled spirit. the flavorings can be added in one of three fashions; steeping, percolating/filtering, and redistilling. Combinations of flavors, such as mint, chocolate, vanilla, and coffee are also used. Because of the way they are produced, the differences in quality among liqueurs are dramatic. Some liqueurs, especially those manufactured in Europe, are still made by natural processes and contain natural ingredients. Unfortunately, many of the larger liqueur firms, including most American firms, use chemical flavor concentrates in the manufacture of their liqueurs. Where such chemical concentrates are used, the law stipulates that the liqueur must be designated on the label as "artificial", or "imitation". One line of liqueurs still manufactured entirely by natural process is France's Marie Brizard, Bols of Holland (which makes superb triple-sec, and curaçao), and the original Amaretto di Saronne. Liqueur Okolehao - Liqueur Okolehao is made with aged whiskey, tropical flavors and the ancient and revered Hawaiian Ti Root plant.
