limon dilimi
Explanation:
kokteyl bardaklarına süs olarak konan ince limon dilimi; lime limon değil tabii, misket limonu, lim gibi adlarla türkçeleştiriliyor bildiğim kadarıyla ama burada limon dilimi demek en uygunu olacak. yani özel bir bitki türünün adı değil bu. aşağıdaki linklere bakın (ikinci linkte martini kadehinde en bilinen haliyle bir resmi de var); ayrıca arama motorlarından birinde "lime wedge" diye aradığınızda binlerce kokteyl tarifi bulacaksınız, "garnish with a lime wedge" diye sona eren :)

Limon dilimi


Explanation:
A lime wedge is just a section cut out of a lime.

A few years ago there was a fashion for pushing them into the neck of beer bottles such as Corona before drinking, or squeezing them onto the back of your hand with some salt and licking it off before drinking a shot of Tequila.

agree  Emine Fougner: evet, misket limonu. Normal limondan kucuk (belki yari, belki ceyregi boyunda) ve rengide her zaman yesil. Genelde tequila'da kullanilir, yada mexico yemeklerinde.
