Expert Tips
Glassware Tip
Chill your cocktail glass in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before serving. A cold glass keeps your drink at the perfect temperature longer and adds an elegant frosted appearance.
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.
Vodka can be distilled from almost any starch or sugar source, including potatoes, grapes, corn, and even milk.
