Expert Tips

Expert Tips

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.

Hosting Tip

These straightforward recipes are perfect for batch preparation. Multiply the recipe, mix in a pitcher (minus ice and carbonation), and serve quickly at parties.

Did You Know?

Bourbon must be made from at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak barrels - these rules are actually US law.
