There's no shortage of ways to get most juice from a citrus fruit, but this one is pretty handy if you don't have any other tools available but need to get the most juice out of a pile of key limes: use a garlic press. Half of a key lime fits in nicely, and the pressing action is the same as a handheld juicer.
You'll want to use a freshly washed garlic press for this trick so your key lime juice doesn't taste vaguely like garlic, but the photo above speaks for itself. As long as you can get the halves of key lime into the press, it'll work like a charm, and keep all of the pulp out of your dish.
Of course, your key limes have to fit, and most garlic presses may not be large enough to fit your lime halves, but if this works for you, it can save you a lot of time. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.

Plus, it can get pricey for the amount you get. Surprisingly, it's super easy to make at home, with ingredients that you may already have in your pantry. All you need is chocolate and coconut oil.
