Cocktails with Fresh lemon juice

Fresh lemon juice is the bright, tart backbone of many classic sours, fizzes and collins, balancing sugar and softening the strength of spirits. Squeeze it just before mixing and strain out the pips, as the flavor can change during storage. Rolling the lemon firmly on the counter first helps release more juice. 8 cocktails on YouCocktail use Fresh lemon juice: classic recipes with exact quantities, method, strength and swaps.
