Balance is key, and I sometimes think there's a typo in there or two (NOTHING compared to the typo-on-every-recipe effect in the new "Don The Beachcomber" book) I don't think that you should have any kind of blanket policy about cutting the lime juice, but just make them as is and adjust it next time to taste. As far as making a drink lively, it's fresh juice that makes the difference, not the quantity of it IMHO. Balance!
