Dear fellow Society members,

I'm running a cocktail event in SF on October 26th, 2010 at the Clift Hotel (downtown right by Union Square), and I'm trying to figure out how to get all my citrus together on short notice. While I have access to prep facilities, I really don't have time to juice 10 quarts each lemon and lime juice and I'm looking for a way to buy some. In NYC, for instance, we can purchase fresh juices to order from Manhattan Fruit Co. Is there a similar option in SF, or even elsewhere in the Bay Area (it may be worth the drive)?

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Mayur:

Try contacting Orchid Island Juice Company and see if they have any local vendors there. It's not as good as fresh squeezed but is far more time efficient and a hell of a lot less work when you're in a time crunch.
