I use Key limes unless only Persian limes are available. When the Trader began making Mai Tais, his recipe called for the juice of one lime. The juice of one Persian lime is way too much, whereas that of the Key lime is just right. Given the history and distribution of both kinds of lime, it is possible that Key limes were predominately used during his day. Otherwise, I would suspect he would have specified which lime to use in his formula (i.e., half of one Persian lime). |
