Why Key Limes, of course.:-) I would not disparage the real thing
by calling an imitation a "Key" lime whatever.

I have assembled some more Key limes, some persian limes, some
ReaLime, a lemon, and some Nellie and Joe's and intend to put a Tbl or
so in a cup of simple syrup and have a blind taste test next time I
have a few 'victims' in the house. I was juggling too many things
saturday to do it then.
