Glassware Tip

Hold a martini glass by the stem to prevent your hand from warming the drink. The wide bowl is designed to release aromatics for a better sensory experience.

Fresh Citrus Tip

Always squeeze fresh citrus juice rather than using bottled. Roll the fruit on the counter before cutting to release more juice, and strain out seeds and pulp for a smoother drink.

Presentation Tip

Garnishes aren't just decorative - they add aroma and can be eaten to complement the drink. Match your garnish to key flavors in the recipe for a cohesive experience.
