lime juice for margaritas, preferably in B'lyn

[parkslopemama]

I want to serve margaritas at a party this weekend. I know that fresh-squeezed lime juice is the ideal but, realistically, I won't have time to squeeze 1,000 limes! Is there any half-way decent lime juice I can buy, preferably in Brooklyn?? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Squeeze 1,000 limes? How many margaritas are you making? There's no substitute for fresh lime juice. Why not invest in a citrus reamer. $2.95 at Sears and it takes about 2 seconds to ream 1 lime.

We drank about 60-70 margaritas (30 people, average of 2-3 each). I ended up getting a jug of fresh-squeezed lime juice from the Manhattan Fruit Exchange, and it was worth every penny!

did you see this from a couple years back?

Indeed, as that thread mentions you may have to go into Manhattan.

I have purchased freshly squeezed lime and lemon juice from Chelsea Fruit Exchange many times. It is in the refrigerated section, packaged in jugs.

Thank you both for the information! I really appreciate it.
