A few cocktails later, I was sure I was onto something. The Atomic Grog's Mai-Kai lime juice blend: Equal parts fresh-squeezed Persian lime juice and bottled Key lime juice from concentrate. I bought a bottle of Mrs. Biddles to try your 50-50 blend. My friends were having kind of a communal party a month or so back. Everyone bring whatever. So I tossed the bottle in my bag with some other goodies figuring I'll make a batch of something and see how people like it. I don't recall what drink I made, it definitely wasn't a mai kai recipe, but it came out suuuper tart mixed equally with persians. To the point I had to doctor the drinks. Got home and put the key lime juice in the back of the fridge where it's been forgotten and possibly gone bad by now (no idea the shelf life of this stuff once opened). Curious, do you do this with all drinks now, or just ones from the Mai Kai? I've been on sort a Mai Kai cocktail hiatus since the Kohala Bay shortage but wanna get back to it soon cuz my body's having withdrawals. Has anyone else experimented with this blend yet?
