To Build a Better Lime Press

You know, I learned something today: Baby limes make a better margarita! I also learned that a stainless steel press is the way to go. So forget that bright yellow one pictured in my earlier posts. It fails, and the reason being that the paint begins to peel off, flecking your fruity drinks with shards of what just can't be that good to ingest - flakes of paint. Hence, I show unto thee the stainless steel lime press! You can order your own at the following link: Norpro Stainless-Steel Citrus Juice Press It's easy to use and is large enough to accomodate any size lime and even lemon halves.




Of course if you want to go all out, you can buy one of these bad babies.

It's just like the one you see them using at lemonade stands, and although there are a few different models to choose from, I personally like the stainless steel model.

Next up, the baby limes I mentioned. I had been paying $2.00 for 3 measly limes at my local supermarket before getting our much-anticipated BJ's membership (totally worth it btw) when I discovered this lovely little bargain.



Yup, it's exactly what it looks like: a giant bag of baby limes! The price: $3.79! The best thing about the baby limes is that they juice much better than the larger ones, and the juice is slightly sweeter, making for a much better margarita. Speaking of which, I do believe I prefer the Cointreau version over all else; however, I do suggest that you try all 3 of the posted versions I have written about. Just be sure to try them with the baby limes. I use 2 per drink.

Enjoy!
