Expert Tips
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.
Vermouth is actually a fortified wine flavored with botanicals. Once opened, it should be refrigerated and used within a few weeks.
