Without paying as much as W5000 each you may not find limes. Every time I go to another part of Asia or the US I get limes and/or lime juice for recipies and cocktails. Roses style sweetened lime juice may be tough to find but Korean bartenders us another VERY similar Korean brand that is readily available to them. You might ask to buy a bottle. I think actual cost is about W5000 and it goes a long way. |

In East Asia, limes are just green lemons. Most people don't even realize they're different.
Case in point:
bottled Sunkist lemonade in Korea is called 레몬에이드 "lemonade."
bottled Sunkist limeade in Korea is called 스위티에이드 "sweetie-ade."
Why would they give it such a ridiculous name? Because Koreans have no clue what limes are. 라임에이드가 뭐야? "Limeade" would not sell. "Sweetie-ade" is much more comprehensible and appetizing to Koreans, even if it's gibberish in English.
So, in conclusion, you'll probably have to settle for lemons. |

I'm not sure if there is one near you, but every Homeplus store that I have even been into sells Triple Sec.(24,000) As for limes, I have never seen them but the Homeplus stores also carry a kind of Lime concentrate that works about as well as anything for cocktails.(10,000)
Sometimes that concentrate is in the alcohol section, other times it is in an area where they sell coffees and other sweeteners. |

The limes aren't great, but if you go to a place called foreign food mart
(yes that's really it's name) in Itaewon they have limes. |
