A citrus squeezer is a hand press for extracting juice from lemon, lime, orange, or grapefruit. Unlike a simple reamer, a bar squeezer presses a citrus half between two cups and quickly gives a fresh portion of juice. It speeds up service and helps produce a more consistent result, especially when several drinks are made in a row. Fresh citrus juice has a major effect on cocktail flavor, so a squeezer is useful even in a home bar.
