I don't think that's going to change any time soon, as I'm not really a lime-lover to begin with. I find them necessary for tiki cocktails, but otherwise I do without them. I do have a bottle of Nellie & Joe's, and 3 other bottles of lime juice, so I may do a comparison sometime soon. When I know that I have enough time to spend 2 or 3 nights comparing drinks before the lime juice goes bad. As to the oxidation of lime juice, we have had a long and involved discussion concerning the oxidation of rum over at the Ministry Of Rum Forums. http://ministryofrum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=455 From my studies, the inert gas approach seems to be the better choice IMHO. Studies with wine have shown that the inert gasses double the life of a wine over a vacuum system. Nature abhors a vacuum.
