Everywhere I've checked lately the limes have been thick skinned and tiny plus the prices have gone up. The Mexican market by my house which was 8/$1 last month is now at 4/$1 and they look like key limes. They're yielding just a 1/4 oz of juice per fruit which means it's costing me $1 per ounce which is completely unacceptable. I started making more drinks that call for lemon lately. My wife just went with a friend who has a Costco card and picked me up a huge bag of limes for $5. Haven't squeezed to see how juicy they are yet but that seems to be the best deal around here.

We got the 5 dollar bag at Costco's yesterday. Less than an ounce per lime:( What are your favorite lemon ingredient tiki drinks?
