Lime juice

Is this easy to pick up, like in the usual supermarkets. I want to put a drop in my rum & cokes
Anyone recommend a particular brand, would prefer not to have to squeeze my own
Thanks

You can pick up squeezable packs of lime juice, usually in the baking section of the supermarket.

But to be honest, they're an extremely poor substitute for the real deal. Fresh lime juice will lift a drink. I recommend getting a "mexican elbow" squeezer which makes it very easy to juice limes (or other citrus).

Tesco have this which I found a bit intense, but will last a long time in fridge:

Some people swear by Roses Lime Cordial, which is the one you'll see behind bars.

But I usually just go with a squeeze of a just cut lime wedge. ALDI have 3 limes for 49c at the moment.

I use it (and lemon juice) frequently enough but in small enough quantities to make using fruit for it annoying and wasteful. If you're cooking for larger groups of people or having a party buy the fruit

I get the tacky looking squeezy bottles that are shaped like the fruits themselves - but in an Indian food store, they seem to be significantly higher quality than the mainstream supermarket options.

The Tesco Ingredidents stuff seems to be slightly concentrated, it's what I buy if I'm short of the Indian brands - the store is quite far away!

You can freeze freshly squeezed lime juice and use an extra small ice cube tray for storing.
