Oh, Dear Heavens, an entire bag of Key Limes, and you didn't make Key Lime
Pie? Your cooking knives should be broken, and your cutting boards and
wooden spoons burned!!!!!

If you're sure they're Key Limes....are they kinda small and wrinkly, rather
thin skinned?

Since you must abuse them by making them into a mere beverage, yes, you can
use them like any other citrus- they have roughly the same characteristics,
other than their subLime flavor..... But oh, the waste.......
