Kitchen Essential: Citrus Juicer

A citrus juicer is a must-have kitchen essential. This simple glass one is my very favorite!

One of the top things I use in the kitchen almost every day is a citrus juicer – for our morning Sunshine Smoothie, especially. And for cocktails, obviously.

There are a variety of different types – electronic, hand-held, and surface. I have used them all, but my recommendation is actually for one of the simplest.

This Citrus Juicer is my top pick because:
-it is easy to clean and store: made of a single piece of molded glass, 2″x3″x6″
-fits almost all varieties of citrus: I’ve juiced everything from a key lime to a grapefruit easily
-is made of heavy glass: no plastics or coatings
-allows you to squeeze out all the juice: tons of juice without all the hand stress
-it costs less than $20

For cocktails and basic home use, this simple juicer will meet all your needs and last for ages. We’ve had ours at least 3 years – we hand wash and it still looks good as new! Unless you’re a super heavy citrus juice consumer, skip the fancy alternatives and go for this no-frills old-school citrus juicer.
