The so-called "bartenders lime" would seem to indicate by its very name that it is the right lime to use, especially when a recipe calls for "juice of one lime." And bartenders limes, which I believe is also the key lime, are considerably smaller than the usual lime you find in the grocery store. Trader Vic's Mai Tai calls for juice of one lime, and I think I may have been adding too much lime juice when I've made it because I've been using the large lime.
