Lime juice shortage leaving margarita fans on the rocks

This week’s “feels like” forecast of 110 degrees will send a whole lotta folks heading for Margaritaville.

Or Gimlet-ville. Or Gin-and-Tonic-ville. Or any ville that swizzles a bracing bit of lime with booze and enough ice to beat the heat.

For many, that hit comes from Rose’s Lime Juice, a sweetened citrus cordial first used to stave off scurvy among sailors who needed Vitamin C but now one of barkeepers’ main go-to sources for lime flavoring.
