- 1 1/2 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt

In a mixer, blend butter, lime zest (make sure it is a very fine grate if you are piping out the frosting), vanilla, and salt until fully combined. Add in the confectioners' sugar one cup at a time, alternating with lime juice. If you need more liquid, add the milk or half and half to reach your desired consistency.
