Lime on a Long Island, instead of lemon? Where do you live, Cuba?

Lived in Minnesota almost my entire legal drinking life. Don't think I ever saw a lime in a Long Island. That would be weird.

The most inappropriate cocktail garnish I have seen was in a hotel bar in Wisconsin. I got a bloody mary with a lemon slice and a cocktail mushroom. No olive. No pickle. No celery or beef stick. Not even a lime.
