im sure i missed the shower - lol!
but i just saw this - if you make your own (which you should) - make sure you get 'key limes' (real limes)
the big juicy dark green limes you get in your gin and tonics wont do-they arent bitter enough-
they make a great cocktail - but are not real limes - thay are a really old hybrid variety-
real limes are really small , light green and yellow and gnarly looking - and way more sour than those hybrid green big limes
-if they are too sour for you, no matter how much sugar you use (they border on bitter they are so strong) - then use part 'real' lime and part 'cocktail' lime-
you'll see them in the grocery called "key limes" sometimes cuz south florida is one of the few places in the americas where they grow them - phoo , posted 08/20/05
