When juicing limes or lemons straight out of the refrigerator, try “nuking” them in the microwave for a few seconds (10 to 20, depending on the microwave).

A warm lime or lemon will always release more juice. Also, pressing on the lime or lemon while rolling it between your palm and the countertop helps to break up the fibers inside of the fruit and will help yield more juice.
