Why citrus prep matters
The difference between a good sour and a great one is usually the juice.
Bottled citrus juice is flat, oxidized, and missing the volatile aromatics that make fresh juice sing in a cocktail. A dedicated squeezer makes fresh-squeezed juice fast enough that there's no reason to reach for a bottle. This one handles lemons and small limes — the two fruits that show up most often in classic cocktails — with a lever action that requires almost no effort.

FAQ
Questions before you buy
Does it work for limes too?
Yes for small to medium limes. Persian limes (the standard grocery store variety) fit well. Large limes may need a half-squeeze and rotation.
Is it dishwasher safe?
Hand washing is recommended to preserve the enamel finish long-term. Citrus acid rinses off quickly under the tap, so cleanup is fast either way.
Why enamel instead of bare metal or plastic?
Bare aluminum reacts with citric acid over time and can leave a metallic taste. Enamel creates a neutral, non-reactive surface while being more durable than plastic at the hinge and pivot points.
How much juice does a single lemon give?
A medium lemon typically yields about 1 to 1.5 oz of juice — enough for one cocktail. Most sour-style drinks call for 0.75 to 1 oz, so one lemon per drink is a reliable rule.
