You can make your own juice from limes, or you can buy commercial Lime Juice that comes either in small bottles or in those small plastic containers that look like limes. Foodies of course flip at the thought of buying Lime Juice like that, but it's fine in a pinch, especially if it's going to go into a cooked dish. For use in uncooked dishes such as ceviche or guacamole, the taste of the fresh Lime Juice, though, is really nice.
Cooking Tips
You get more juice out of a lime if it is at room temperature. If they aren't, zap a few seconds in your microwave. Then roll the limes around on your counter, pressing down with your palm, to loosen the juice up inside. Then cut in half, and juice.
