In the Midwest, my favorite available/economical option for orange juice and grapefruit juice is the unpasteurized juices at Trader Joe's. Look for the plastic jugs in the refrigerator section. The OJ is always good and fresh-squeezed tasting, and the grapefruit is usually great. It's pink grapefruit juice, and it seems to change seasonally depending on the fruit that goes in it. I've had batches that are a lighter pink color, and pulpier, that work very well in certain Mai Kai drinks (see Yeoman's Grog). Limes are always reasonable there but sometimes they tend to be a little hard and dry. And the refrigerated cartons of pineapple juice at TJ's are dynamite.
