Slap happy

It may seem a little funny, but slapping popular cocktail herbs like rosemary, mint and basil activates their flavor. This helps release oils and increases aromatics.

Pre-roll

Before slicing and squeezing, firmly roll citrus on a countertop using the palm of your hand. This loosens the pulp and can help yield more juice.
