Try squeezing some actual fresh limes. Seriously, how hard is it to do that? It's not a matter of difficulty, it's a matter of convenience and time. As much as my wife loves me spending 10 minutes in the kitchen for every drink it's just not something I'm willing to do except on the rare occasion. I could pre-squeeze the limes if I wanted but I imagine most of it would go to waste unless I planned to have more than one or two a week. Realime and Realemon are the only good options regardless of quality :( I use Nellies Key Lime juice which you can find in the baking section of your grocery store for making the pie. It is as close to fresh lime juice as you can get in a bottle.
