Lime juice is best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Freshly squeezed lime juice will maintain its flavor and quality for up to a week. You can also freeze lime juice in ice cube trays for longer storage; frozen lime juice can last for several months, though some flavor intensity may be lost. Avoid storing lime juice at room temperature, as it will spoil quickly.
