Zulay Premium Quality Metal Citrus Press
Another frequently used bartender tool, all too often missing from a cocktail kit, is a good-quality citrus squeezer. Freshly squeezed lemon and lime juice are always going to be far superior to reconstituted juices off the shelf, and these citrus-squeezing tools will save you a lot of time and hassle.
- Another product worth investing in that’ll last – comes with the Zulay lifetime warranty
