Freshen Up Cocktails

While mixing myself a cocktail tonight, I came to a realization that I had been using lemon to freshen up my drinks all summer long and now into the fall and winter.  A spritz, a twist, or a squeeze of a citrus fruit will add that freshness that many mixes do not provide.  This is an easy way to make a cocktail taste custom without all the work and mixology lessons.  Mix flavored rum (my favorite Cruzan Guava) with soda and a twist, add lime to Stirrings Pomegranate and vodka, the citrus cuts through the sweetness and adds a zing.  Yum!
