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.

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.
