Expert Tips

Glassware Tip

Use a large ice cube or sphere instead of regular ice. It melts slower, providing proper dilution without watering down your drink too quickly.

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.

Bitters Tip

Bitters are like salt in cooking - a few dashes balance and enhance other flavors. Experiment with different bitters varieties to create unique flavor profiles.
