Glassware Tip

The Collins glass is taller than a highball, perfect for drinks with more mixer. Stack your ice to the top for maximum refreshment.

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.

Sweetener Tip

Make your own simple syrup by dissolving equal parts sugar and hot water. It mixes more smoothly than granulated sugar and allows precise sweetness control.

Did You Know?

Gin's distinctive flavor comes from juniper berries, though modern gins feature a wide variety of botanicals from around the world.
