Expert Tips
Glassware Tip
Copper mugs aren't just aesthetic - the metal keeps drinks extra cold and creates a unique tingling sensation on your lips.
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.
Party Planning Tip
Prepare your punch base the night before and refrigerate. Add ice and sparkling ingredients just before guests arrive for maximum freshness and fizz.
Gin's distinctive flavor comes from juniper berries, though modern gins feature a wide variety of botanicals from around the world.
