Expert Tips

Glassware Tip

Fill your highball glass with ice before adding ingredients. The tall, narrow shape is designed to keep carbonated mixers fizzy and refreshing throughout the drink.

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.
