Answer to “Tart citrusy flavor” in Cookie Jam

Not gonna lie, this one was pretty tricky. Good thing we don’t have to pick letters from the entire alphabet, because if we did, I’d never get the answer:

1. Tart citrusy flavor – Zesty

“Zesty” usually means something that’s got a strong, fresh, and lively flavor, often a little tangy or spicy. It’s the kind of word you’d use for foods or drinks that are bright, bold, and full of punch. When people say something is zesty, they’re often talking about citrus fruits like lemons, limes, and oranges. But it can also describe spicy food, like a salsa that really wakes up your taste buds.

The word “zesty” actually comes from “zest,” which is the outer peel of citrus fruits. That peel is loaded with oils that give food and drinks a bright, tangy kick. Over time, especially by the 19th and 20th centuries, “zesty” started being used to describe anything with that fresh, citrusy, or spicy vibe, so something with a nice punch of flavor or energy.
