Test Kitchen Tips
  • Go for freshly squeezed lemon juice when preparing this summery sipper. Bottled lemon juice, which is from concentrate, won’t provide the same bright, fresh flavor. Buy fresh lemons to get the job done.
  • Vodka is one of the lowest-calorie liquors.
  • Anyone can master these 21 mixed drinks.
