Tips for Great Drinks Every Time

Chill your glassware. For cocktails and cold drinks, pop your glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving. It keeps drinks colder longer.

Use fresh juice. Bottled lemon and lime juice is convenient but fresh juice makes a noticeable difference in flavour, especially in cocktails and mocktails.

Batch your cocktails. When entertaining, pre-mix the base of your cocktails (spirits, juices, syrups) in a large jug and keep refrigerated. Add ice and carbonation just before serving.

Balance is everything. The best cocktails balance sweet, sour, bitter, and strong. If a drink tastes off, add more acid (citrus) to brighten it or more sugar to mellow it.
