Calamansi is a fruit tree in the family Rutaceae that is very popular throughout Southeast Asia, especially the Philippines, where it is most commonly used for cooking. In the west it is variously known as acid orange, calamondin orange, Chinese orange or Panama orange.
Calamansi juice is a lot like lemonade, but sweeter and doesn't have the same puckery flavour. I love this stuff. And it goes so well with seafood, as does any sour drink. In the west, it's generally weird to drink lemonade for dinner, but come to think of it, why not? It's such a beautiful complement to so many foods. The Filipinos figured this out right!
