McCormick Culinary Lemon Extract 16 fl oz — Pure Lemon Oil Extract for Baking & Cocktails, Chef-Size Bottle

McCormick Culinary Pure Lemon Extract is a concentrated lemon oil extract in a 16 fl oz chef-size bottle that adds bright, long-lasting lemon flavor to sweet and savory recipes without juicing or zesting.

This professional‑size bottle of McCormick Culinary Pure Lemon Extract delivers a clear, crisp lemon aroma and flavor made from lemon oil — not juice — so you get a clean citrus note with minimal color and lasting intensity. It’s designed for high-volume kitchens, home bakers and beverage mixers who want consistent, easily measurable lemon flavor that blends into frostings, fillings, sauces and cocktails without the acidity or texture of fresh lemon.

How will this extract change my baking and desserts?

The extract provides a concentrated lemon profile that integrates seamlessly into batters, custards, whipped creams and glazes without altering texture. Because it’s made from lemon oil, you get aromatic citrus top notes rather than sourness from juice.

• Enhances mousses, custards and cream fillings with a stable, long‑lasting lemon note
• Minimal color makes it ideal for white frostings and meringues
• One drop is potent—economical for professional and home use

Can I use this in drinks and savory dishes?

Yes—the extract works in cocktails, iced beverages and savory applications where lemon aroma is desired without added liquid. It pairs well with herbs, oils and proteins to brighten dressings, marinades and pan sauces.

• Adds citrus lift to cocktails like amaretto sours and bourbon drinks
• Use in vinaigrettes, herb marinades, and pan sauces for chicken, fish, pork or vegetables
• Concentrated format avoids diluting sauces or drinks

How do I measure and store the 16 fl oz bottle for best results?

The flip‑top bottle offers options for individual drops or larger pours, helping control strength in batch recipes. Store in a cool, dark place and keep the cap closed to preserve the volatile oils and aroma.

• Use small amounts — start with 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon for moderate lemon flavor in most recipes
• Keep out of direct light and heat to protect flavor stability
• Chef-size packaging is designed for frequent use and bulk recipe scaling

It’s ideal for anyone needing consistent results in large batches, beverage programs, or delicate confections where fresh lemon juice or zest would change texture, acidity or appearance.
