The Best Citrus Juicers To Get Every Last Drop
It’s time to quit squeezing lemons by hand
If you want to make a quick and delicious margarita or lemonade at home, you’ll need a handheld juicer. Squeezing citrus with your hands makes it difficult to get all that precious juice out of the fruit while avoiding the seeds, and leaves fingers and countertops sticky in the process. The right tool can make it a breeze to juice lemons, limes, or oranges for a cocktail or fruit curd. Juice away with our favorite citrus squeezers, reamers, and of course juicers.
