Originating in Puerto Rico and coming in many flavors, limber is named after the pilot Charles A. Lindbergh, who landed on the island in 1928. According to El Nuevo Día, Puerto Rico's newspaper of record, he was greeted with this delicious frozen juice, which came to be called limber, it's said, after how many on the island pronounced the pilot's name. In New York, this simple dessert may be one of the best things about summers in the Bronx. Serve it in cups - squeeze the cups, take your first lick, then turn the dessert upside-down - or as ice cubes. The cubes are especially nice in coconut-flavored rum after a long day. It's the much-needed cool-off you're yearning for.
