I read the posting complaining about the Persian limes from Mexico. The problem as I see it isn't that the limes came from Mexico but that you were using the wrong type of lime. The best drinks are made from Mexican Limes. Got a tree right here in my back yard here in the desert in California. Another thing, don't juice the lime until it is yellow. Mexican limes, besides being superior to Persian limes in taste, provide little juice unless they have been allowed to ripen, and by that I mean turn yellow. Once you use Mexican limes (the little ones you see in the supermarket) you'll never go back to Persian.
