I don't drink very often, but I love a citrus cocktail on a special occasion; whether it’s a splash of lime in a margarita or a twist of lemon for a French 75. But getting that juice? I'm embarrassed to admit as a kitchen appliances editor, I've never invested in one of the best juicers. I thought they were a bit expensive, so I've been using my hands for years, which was inefficient for large batches and left my hands sore after a couple of rounds of squeezing.
I'm having people over for New Year's Eve, so I asked a professional bartender which juicer they'd recommend. They said they use a commercial electric juicer to get through crates of lemons, limes, and oranges, but this was rather expensive and fancier than I needed. So, they recommended a more affordable, small alternative for home use: the Chef 'N FreshForce juicer - which bartenders call an 'elbow' juicer. It works a charm and was only $26.99 on Amazon. I've never looked back.
