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.

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.

Did You Know?

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