Down here in Austin, we're fortunate enough to have access to a grocery store (HEB's Central Market) that stocks fresh-squeezed fruit juices. It's $1.99 for an 8 oz. lime juice, which is enough to make about 6 mai tais (I like about 1.25 oz per). Avoiding the step of squeezing juice from a fresh lime cuts a couple of minutes off of the prep time, so it's completely worth the extra cost. The only down side is that the juice is not pasteurized which, although giving it a fresher flavor, means it only lasts 2 days.
