Wash the limes well. Trim off the ends, cut the limes into quarters, and remove visible seeds. For a less bitter drink, peel 2 of the limes before blending.

Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher or bowl. Press gently to extract liquid, but do not crush the peel hard.

Pour into glasses filled with fresh ice. Garnish with lime wheels and serve immediately.
