Lemon
Bright citrus aroma and a distinctly tart juice. A small addition can change the flavour of a dish or drink.
Juice and peel bring different details.
Lemon juice adds a tart note, while the outer peel brings a citrus aroma. The white layer underneath can add bitterness. Fresh lemon, bottled juice and a lemon-containing drink are different preparations. SHARP WAKEUP combines lemon with beetroot, ginger and apple.

Fresh fruit
Use juice, a slice or a little finely grated outer peel according to your recipe.
Bottled juice
Check whether the product is juice, concentrate or a sweetened preparation. Follow its dilution and storage directions.
Mixed drink
The tartness of lemon changes alongside sweeter fruit and peppery ginger. Read the complete formulation.
A place to start.
Start with sound fruit
Choose lemons without decay or deep damage. The peel matters especially when you plan to use zest.
Rinse and prepare
Rinse the whole fruit under running water. Cut and remove seeds, or finely grate the outer peel without the white layer.
Taste as you go
Try a small amount in a dressing or familiar drink and adjust to taste. A prepared bottle already has its own balance.
A little goes a long way
Juice, zest and concentrated products are not interchangeable measures. Use the amount and format in your recipe or on the pack.
What to look for.
Choose the intended format
Fresh fruit and prepared juice suit different uses. Compare the actual ingredient description.
Keep it cool
Refrigeration helps preserve fresh lemon quality. Refrigerate cut fruit and follow the label for bottled preparations.
Check the blend
A lemon name does not tell you the sweetness or every ingredient in a mixed drink.
