Key Limes - Tiki Drinks and Food

Fresh lime juice is a pain and bottled is awful otherwise. Plus, the Mai Kai uses Key Lime juice exclusively, so, hey. I also cut all Grog Log and Intoxica recipe lime measures in half or more. Lemon seems a little closer to correct, but I cut anything that calls for large amounts down. 1 1/2 ounces of lemon juice? Come on! Maybe lime juice is different in California, but if you make the Grog Log recipes by the book here in East TN, all you taste is lime. Here is an article on the Mai Kai's drinks and Key Limes.
