Nelly & Joe's is about as good as you're going to get outside of fresh limes. However, be aware that it is Key Lime juice, which I find very different from the "typical" limes one gets in the stores. I don't particularly care for Key Limes, so the taste difference is quite noticeable to me. As to the demerara... Well, demerara is demerara. I don't think there's really anything to substitute. Oh, I'd sub El Dorado 5-year-old in place of Lemon Hart, but they're both demeraras. You might get away with a dark rum - though Myer's is fairly distinctive, so maybe Coruba (which I'd use instead of Myer's in any drink that doesn't explicitly call for Myer's). Someone in another thread suggested Pusser's, though I'd go 50/50 Pusser's with some other dark. But demerara is demerara....
