Notes
For the best flavor, juice your own key limes or buy a bottle of key lime juice from the store. It is usually located with the regular lime juice and lemon juice. The Nellie & Joe’s key lime juice brand is the one I like.
Keep it for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Cover loosely with aluminum foil or plastic wrap.
